The “Poet” – Gio Ponti

The “Poet” – Gio Ponti

White porcelain figurine depicting a male figure in a theatrical pose, wearing a tight-fitting costume, a flowing cape, and a stiff, raised neck. The figurine is glazed in white and highlighted with gold, accented with agate.

The highly stylized model reflects Gio Ponti’s taste for modern lines, but also the elegant execution of Geminiano Cibau, who renders the surfaces fluid and sculpturally refined.

Doccia (Florence); 1930.
