Patricio, Robert – Four Color “Morning Rain” Water Jar
$ 1,800.00
This is a jar with intricately painted designs by Robert Patricio. He is known for his classic forms and use of both traditional and prehistoric imagery. This water jar is coil-built and thin-walled. The jar has six rows of design. The jar is entitled, “Morning Rain” and represents the rain coming over the mountains and mesas in the morning. Note the use of the fine-lines in the lower triangles. The jar has a variety of coloration and detail. The rows of designs get larger at the shoulder and smaller at the rim and base. The flow of the design on the shape of the jar almost makes it look as if one is seeing the lightning strike in a cloudy sky. The jar has both an ancient and a modern appearance. Robert is certainly one of the leading traditional Acoma potters working today, as evidenced by his stunning forms and complementary designs. The jar is signed on the bottom, “R. M. Patricio”.
Robert said recently of his pottery:
““The pottery inspires me to keep going. Keeping the tradition alive in making pottery, that’s how we were brought up. Our ancestors started making pottery. It’s amazing what comes of a piece of clay. When you come to Acoma it’s peacuful and quite. When you look a piece of pottery, you see the same peacefulness.” Robert Patricio, 2020
