Jar
1935-1942
Francis Bruner’s 'Jar' is a charmingly simple study of a ceramic vessel, likely created as a design concept between 1935 and 1942. The artist captures a sturdy, greyish cylinder adorned with bold blue stripes and a playful pair of wavy lines wrapping around its midsection, giving it a folksy, handcrafted feel. It feels less like a finished masterpiece and more like a quiet, observational sketch—perhaps a blueprint for a potter waiting to bring the clay to life. The signature at the bottom anchors it as a specific moment in Bruner's exploration of form and function, proving that even the most humble household objects deserve a second look.
