Joan Miró, Paul Klee & Horst Heinzlreiter 6/21/14

This unique example of ceramic art is by Horst Heinzlreiter as are all the pots in this post.

Just when I thought Horst Heinzlreiter’s pots couldn’t get any better, I discovered these wild and wonderful examples of art disguised as bonsai pots (that’s what I wanted to call this post until I discovered Ceramic Art Disguised as Bonsai Pots on some obscure bonsai blog).

I spent a year of my youth in Europe, with a sizable hunk of that time wandering around art museums (one of the best things I’ve ever done BTW). Two of the handful of artist who left indelible images on my otherwise faulty memory, are Joan Miró and Paul Klee. It’s not that these pots look exactly like their paintings, but nevertheless, both of these great artists come to mind when I look at them.
