| dc.description.abstract | In a small upstairs gallery in the Museum of Art at the University of Oregon there is a wall case containing a group of statuettes of fired clay. In this group stands a comparatively small figure of a woman this is outstanding from its more ornate neighbors in its simplicity of rendering and direct expressiveness. Passive and immobile in its frontal pose, bisymmetrically disposed, it is frank statement devoid of enriching detail or glamour of color, though traces of pigment still remain in the crevices to suggest what might have been its original glory. The figure is cloaked in a long, sweeping, kimono-like rode that flares out at the base to cover completely what would be the feet. Likewise, the full bell-shaped sleeves, solidly attached to the body in their entire length, engulf the folded hands as would a muff. | en_US |
