<p>[QUOTE="Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 154610, member: 90"]Sometimes I surprise myself. I recognized the style immediately. These painted terracotta figurines are particular to the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. They are examples of Mid-Century-Modern (MCM) clay art based on the bronze figurines created by the prehistoric cultures found on the island. The Mola family is perhaps best known for the form and style. Of the clan members perhaps Stelio Mola is the most internationally recognized followed by his brother, Fabio. Both were active from about 1955 to 2000. I believe that Fabio's son, Alessandro is still producing works of art out of the same studio established by his grandfather. also known as Alessandro.</p><p>Other Sardinian ceramists include the Massidda family which is still working today.</p><p>There are examples on the internet</p><p>[ATTACH=full]41795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]41796[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
