Joie de Vivre 1960

"Joie de Vivre," created in 1960 by Walasse Ting, is a ceramic sculpture that exemplifies the artist's playful and expressive approach to art. The abstract figure, rendered in earthy tones of red and black, evokes a sense of joy and vitality. Ting's use of clay and glaze creates a textural richness, reflecting the artist's fascination with both Eastern and Western artistic traditions. The sculpture's whimsical form and bold colors are characteristic of Ting's distinctive style, which often incorporates elements of Surrealism, Pop Art, and Eastern art.
