About the Item

Adam Dworski was born near Rijeka (Croatia) in 1917 during the demise of Austria-Hungary, he witnessed the birth of the new Yugoslavia. After World War II, he met and married an Englishwoman, Patricia (Paddy) Nash, and they moved to Wales. He trained as a lawyer, but a chance breakdown of the family car near a small pottery sent him off in a completely new direction. After a short apprenticeship at the Overstone Pottery, he established the Wye Pottery in Clyro in 1956. The brush work on his majolica glazes is distinctive, and his work reflects the time: Festival of Britain tapered lines, the sketch of a face with almond eyes, the sweep of a breast or hip give a nod to Picasso or Henry Moore. Rich colours of Byzantium and the Near East are seen in his work: deep reds, greens, blues, and gold. As his work matured, figures in earthenware, stoneware and porcelain dominated. His reference was often the Classical world or the Early Church: Leda and the Swan, Pan and Bacchus jostled with bulls and cockerels, sweet maidens and crucifixes. Nearly half a life spent in Wales led him to produce plaques depicting sheep-dotted hills in greens and browns, the familiar form of the Brecon Beacons, the tiny churches in hidden Radnorshire valleys. Applied art and European history remained his passions and when, in his eighties, clay became too cumbersome to handle, his need to create found pictorial expression on canvas using pastels and acrylics. On retirement in 1997, Adam and his wife Patricia moved to France, a country they both loved – first to Evian and then Provence. They died within a few weeks of each other in Dijon in 2011.
