Julian de la Herreira...Paraguayan ceramist...museum wall charger
....
A most unusual find.This pre columbian charger designed and made by Andres Campos Cervera who went under the pseudonym Julian de la Herreira in the early 20thc.Also a famous artist and later in life started with his pottery designs and made extremely complex designs depicting the early Indian life.
He travelled to spain were he enrolled in the san fernando academy in madrid also travelling to Paris and then after many years he went home.I have also been able to establish that he worked with Picasso for a short time.
most information on this artist is in Spanish...so i guess for those readers a great find.
he was born 1888 and died 1937 married to intellectual Josehine Pia would was a poet and ceramist.She donated her collection of her husbands work to the Spanish goverment and is on display at the following museum........http://www.portalguarani.com/obras_autores_detalles.php?id_obras=8498
there is also a paper label attached to the reverse of this charger written in his hand as well as signed and dated 1931.The charger is also signed by him on the reverse of the pottery(dia 60cm) i am still doing further research and hope that if someone out there knows more then please drop me a line.
