Vase 1913

Paul Manship's "Vase" (1913) is a bronze sculpture that exemplifies the artist's interest in classical and archaic forms. The vase, featuring a central figure in relief surrounded by intricate patterns, reflects the style of ancient Greek pottery. The two handles, with their striking animal heads, are reminiscent of archaic Greek vase handles, adding a touch of the exotic. Manship's "Vase" is a compelling example of the revival of classical motifs in early 20th-century art.
