These mythological images -- an array of fanciful scenes, from a crowned goddess flanked by winged cherubs to serpents swarming in a turbulent sea, to a few horned satyrs dancing in the forest -- are depicted in vivid yellows, blues, greens, and beautiful ochre hues and are selected from the Museum’s permanent collection. They are all the more remarkable because they exist on the face of 16th-century Italian maiolica pottery. In contrast and conjunction with the historical pieces are artworks by several of today’s top ceramic artists and a set of twelve whimsical Catalan tiles depicting musicians designed by Francisco Goya (1746-1828.) The exhibition continues in the Spanish Courtyard with AGAIN, an installation of outdoor sculpture by Kathy Ruttenberg.
