The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (January 27-February 22, 1970). --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: Artists of the Pataky style excelled in animal portrayals that typically combine a modeled head with a flat, boldly patterned vessel chamber, punned as the animal's body. The animals' meanings are unstudied, though it seems important that many strike human poses-creatures that combine human and animal traits often have mythic import. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1969.108/1969.108_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1969.108/1969.108_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1969.108/1969.108_full.tif
