Vase 1907 - 1908

"Vase" is a ceramic artwork by French artist Othon Friesz, created between 1907 and 1908 and currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The piece is a stylized depiction of a vase with a lid, featuring decorative designs and figures. Friesz uses bold, simplified forms to portray two figures within a stylized landscape, possibly symbolizing nature or mythology. The artist’s use of black and white enhances the graphic quality of the work, contributing to its overall dynamism and artistic expression. This vase is an example of Friesz's interest in decorative art and his ability to synthesize classical motifs with modern aesthetics.
