Patricio, Robert – “Past, Present, and Future” Water Jar
$ 2,100.00
Robert Patricio is known for his classic forms and use of both traditional and prehistoric imagery. This jar is coil-built and thin-walled. It has a classic shape with a high shoulder and a short neck. Robert said he was inspired to make this design from an historic Acoma jar. He changed the designs in the center. The top is the past with a classic lighting design. The center is the present, with Robert’s addition to this classic imagery. The bottom half is the future, where the designs above are reversed. The jar combines red slipped areas with fine-line painted designs. The white clay adds to the overall design imagery, accentuating the angles. The jar has both an ancient and a very modern appearance. Robert is certainly one of the leading traditional Acoma potters working today, which is evidenced by his stunning forms and complementary designs. The jar is signed on the bottom, “R. M. Patricio”.
