Jar c. 1937

"Jar" is a drawing on paper, created by John Tarantino in c. 1937. The piece, measuring 28.5 x 22.6 cm, depicts a blue and white floral design, possibly inspired by the style of traditional blue and white pottery. It's a simple yet delicate composition, showcasing Tarantino's skill in capturing the essence of a jar's decorative element through his linework and blue wash. This work might be a study for a larger ceramic piece, highlighting Tarantino's artistic process and the connection between drawing and ceramics.
