Charles van den Eycken (Belgian, 1859–1923) - Tête de chien

This is one of my favorite pieces of art: Foss by Pat Steir. I'm obsessed with it, but it has practically no presence on the internet. The work was in the Denver Art Museum in 2023-2024, it's no longer there but I'm glad I got these photos while it was. I would sit and just stare at it. Few pieces of art have captured my attention the same way.

Bowl, slip-painted, 'coloured engobe ware. Buff earthenware, with rounded sides and everted rim. on a raised flat base. The vessel is entirely covered on both sides by a manganese purple ground-slip on which the decoration was painted in white, then coated with a transparent and colourless lead glaze which nevertheless gives a pronounced greenish colour to the white design. The decoration represents a large and stylized bird within a circle. In the remaining areas are panels, dots and eyes in white. A series of festoons with tiny dots decorates the rim.
