Jazz Bowl, Viktor Schreckengost, 1931, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

The Jazz Bowl was originally designed for Eleanor Roosevelt in celebration of her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s re-election as governor of New York, and it has since become an icon of the Jazz Age and an Art Deco masterpiece. Cowan Pottery liked the design, which captures the architecture, music, and nightlife of New York City as Viktor Schreckengost knew it, and the company decided to put the bowl into production. Using Schreckengost’s template and a sgraffito technique, workers scratched the design into the engobe, or black glaze. Schreckengost then inspected and signed the bowl. The final Egyptian blue glaze was applied to reflect New York at night. Through prior acquisition of the Antiquarian Society; Thorne Rooms exhibition Fund; Bequest of Elizabeth R. Vaughan; and the Winfield Foundation Size: 23.5 × 42.6 × 43.2 cm (9 1/4 in. × 16 3/4 × 17 in.) Medium: Glazed earthenware, engobe

One of my very favorite pieces that CMA has in its permanent collection and is featured in The Jazz Age special exhibition is “Das Wasser” (Water) Figure by Dina Kuhn. Not only is it a stunningly gorgeous sculpture in its own right, but it also is a piece personally selected for CMA by Viktor Schreckengost. VS was an astounding, brilliant Cleveland ceramic artist who pioneered a new wave of functional, beautiful sculptural design in the 1920s and also founded the world-renowned Industrial Design department at Cleveland Institute of Art, where he revolutionized modern American industrial design through his teaching and where he remained as professor emeritus until his death in 2008. His work really had a deep impact on me as a teenager, and I’m so happy to see him and his influence reflected so powerfully in this exhibition. The exhibition is closing on 1/14/18, so if you haven’t been yet, get going! I hope they’re not sold out of tickets! #cmajazzage #clevelandmuseumofart #dinakuhn #daswasser #scuplture #viktorschreckengost #industrialdesign #industrialdesignofthe1920s (at The Cleveland Museum of Art)
