Jane F. Ullman American 1908 - 1991, terracotta ceramic sculpture. Signed on reverse and dated. Purchased from the artist's estate. 38lb Known for her mastery of portraiture as well as her abstract terra cotta and marble forms, Mrs. Ullman's subjects included cellist Gregor Piatigorsky (displayed at the Music Center); bibliophile Jake Zeitlin (at UCLA); psychoanalyst Bruno Bettelheim (at the University of Chicago) and writer and poet Gertrude Stein (Coluz, France). Additionally, she was known for her Cubist-influenced, tabletop sculptures--abstractions diametrically opposed to her literal portraits. In them she amassed cubes, rectangles and irregular geometric configurations in vertical patterns that were likened by critics to 'totemic structures.' Approx.
