Description
This intricate mosaic work by Brazilian artist Lucia Leibsohn Kandel depicts a seated bull rendered in a vibrant, folk-art inspired aesthetic. The bull's body is adorned with bright yellow floral motifs against a cobalt blue background, while its head features a meticulously tiled golden-yellow and white pattern. The figure is set within a layered landscape consisting of a green field, stylized trees, and patterned hills under a light blue sky.
Kandel was a member of the International Porcelain Art Teachers and the Brazilian Academy of Arts (Chair 21). Her work often bridged the gap between fine art and decorative ceramic techniques, as evidenced by her published manuals on kiln applications and mosaic on porcelain. This piece is housed in its original rustic wooden frame with white-washed accents, maintaining the authentic presentation of her mid-to-late 20th-century studio work.
