I think a nephew put on a local art exhibition commemorating the centennial of the artist's birth a few years ago. Beyond family, friends and former students, hardly anyone would know of his work.

These artists who were talented but never made headlines just seem to disappear after their deaths leaving only a few things behind - and yet they were so talented.<br />My first husband, who was a good painter, had a tutor - Toni Bartl - Czech I believe and a 'displaced person' as they were called after the war. His paintings were very distinctive - I have one which was given to us as a wedding gift - I also have one of his drawings - but on the whole he is forgotten. I think you have to make headlines in order to go down in history.<br />Incidentally - I love your pot - both the shape and the colour and I wonder whether the two 'fingerprints' on the side were also a sort of trademark.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-64721652248255281652017-08-06T08:16:52.622+01:002017-08-06T08:16:52.622+01:00I only ever made one pot that I was proud of.
