*John Maltby (1936-2020),a standing crowned figure, stoneware, the crown with two hanging ceramic beaded suspensions, with geometric motifs to the body, with artist's monogram60cm high, on a fixed painted wood plinth*Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.John Maltby (1936-2020) Rejecting the conventional Anglo-Oriental traditions defined by Bernard Leach, John Maltby spearheaded the development of a new Modernist movement in British Studio Pottery from the mid-1960s until his death in 2020.Initially trained as a sculptor at Leicester University and Goldsmiths, Maltby's career as an art potter began in 1962, working with David Leach at Bovey Tracey. Leaving Leach's tutelage in 1964, however, he felt no connection with the practices and aesthetics, and instead set out his own artistic direction, which would redefine British Studio Pottery.Rather than drawing from the Japanese styles worked by his contemporaries, Maltby was influenced by artists such as Henry Moore, Alfred Wallis, Picasso and Paul Klee, emphasising the symbiosis of abstract geometry and colour. Working in bolder colours and asymmetric shapes, Maltby never regarded his work as mere vessels, but rather each piece as a sculptural work, enclosing particular memories and emotions.The concept of memory was always at the heart of Maltby's work, and this notion was reinforced in 1996 when, following heart surgery, Maltby was forced to change his practice being unable to work the clay as he had previously. Rather than abandoning his craft, Maltby made the most significant change in his artistic career - the transition from turned pottery vessels to sculpture. The shift in practice made Maltby's previously employed patterns and aesthetics spring to life and introduced many returning 'characters', taking the form of birds, fishermen, kings, knights and many more. These characters took on token characteristics of Maltby's life and he embodied into them specific memories or emotions evoked by pieces of art or music.Maltby always sought for his work to regale a narrative, be it the far away chivalrous stories of knights and kings, or the humble tales of the local fishing folk surrounding his Devon home - they all held equal importance in Maltby's mind. Continuously revisiting these for the last twenty-four years of his life, Maltby has built a unique legacy in the echelons of British Art Pottery. The playfulness in his work continues to attract collectors, new and old, and has made it universally applicable in any interior context. They are, at their heart, conversation pieces, and in discussing them, they become subject to new narratives and new memories.
