Guido de Zan, Italy Ceramic Tile, 2006? 13cm x 20cm x 0.5cm thick Guido De Zan is a ceramic artist based in Milan with a career spanning 40 years. He has a background as a psychiatrist and was also close friends with Bruno Munari, a product designer who was also active in Milan. Guido De Zan's works emphasize and simplify the characteristics of subjects such as people, animals, skyscrapers, and nature, creating a refined yet warm and pastoral style. Each piece is also characterized by a different texture depending on its shape. This is a rare ceramic tile among Guido's works, which are famous for his flower vases. A flower vase is depicted on the soft-colored ceramic tile, and the lines have an uneven design, as if the board has been scratched. From the beginning, a wall-hanging fixture designed by the artist himself is attached to the back. It is signed on both the front and back. Purchased at a solo exhibition, it has only been taken out of the box for this listing. There are few of these works both domestically and internationally, and it is a valuable artist's work that is likely to become even more difficult to obtain in the future. I am still hesitant to sell, so I would appreciate it if you could refrain from price reductions. #guidodezan #guido #idee
