Rare Cleveland School Pottery Sculpture Edris Eckhardt WPA Midsummer Morning

Description: FREE SHIPPING This evocative sculpture measures approximately 12.75" t. and is marked Edris Eckhardt and also FEDERAL ART PROJECT CLEVELAND. The sculptor is Cleveland School (now Institute) of Art graduate and long-time faculty member Edris Eckhardt, who also oversaw the ceramic program of the Federal Art Project (1935-1938). Created in a small edition (of no more than 50 examples at the most). Hand decorated, also by Eckhardt. Rare opportunity to own a vintage example of a WPA era artwork by a talented and listed artist. Most of the works created by Eckhardt and colleagues during this time were intended to help teach students to read or to teach somewhat older students about American history. However, this example seems to be a comment on the times, especially the difficulties faced by rural Americans during the Great Depression. I'm Mark Bassett, author and collector. For years, I sold here under the name "potterybooks." I frequently recommend the group Pottery Collector on Facebook.
