Large Plate With Painted And Engraved Figures - Elio Schiavon - 1960

Large terracotta plate with painted and engraved figures from 1960 by Elio Schiavon. The figures are stylized and abstract, and the strong predominance of white, black, and hints of yellow and brown can be seen.
Elio Schiavon (Padua 1925 - Trento 2004) was an Italian ceramist who attended the Ceramics School of Nove and then earned his artistic master's degree in Venice.
In 1954, he opened a kiln in Padua, where he produced both commercially oriented objects and works intended for architecture and urban design. His kiln soon became a school-workshop and a key meeting point for various artists. Schiavon is known for his ongoing artistic research and the integration of artisan tradition and artistic experience.
