Title

Belgian modernist Brutalist ceramic wall tiles – 3 signed reliefs – 1960s

Description

A special set of three modernist, brutalist ceramic wall tiles from the 1960s, executed in the style of Belgian atelier art.

The tiles show three highly stylized depictions: a heraldic lion, a lobster, and a scorpion.

Characteristic are the pronounced geometric shapes, the deeply worked relief and the contrasting glazes in white, cream, reddish-brown and bronze hues.

The combination of bold lines, abstract design and artisanal ceramics gives these tiles a pronounced mid-century modern character.

All three bear an incised monogram on the back.

Dimensions: 11 × 11 cm per tile

Thickness: 7 mm

Period: circa 1960–1970

Carefully and professionally packaged and shipped.
