More about this artwork

"Broken Pottery" (1939) by Frances Hodgkins is an evocative watercolor that blends abstract and representative elements to explore the theme of beauty in decay. In this piece, Hodgkins portrays fragments of pottery interwoven with splashes of vibrant color and floral motifs, creating a composition that feels both dynamic and contemplative.The artwork features shards of pottery, possibly once whole vases or bowls, now shown in a state of elegant disrepair. The fragments are detailed with patterns that suggest their former delicacy, now contrasted starkly against the bold, free-form strokes of the background and plant elements. Throughout the painting, Hodgkins employs a palette that includes earthy browns, deep greens, and bright accents of pink and yellow, lending the scene both a sense of harmony and a touch of whimsical flair."Broken Pottery" captures a moment of transformation, where the broken pieces tell a story of past utility and present aesthetic allure. Through her unique approach to color and form, Hodgkins invites viewers to find beauty in imperfection and to reconsider the narratives held by the objects around us.

Frances Mary Hodgkins (28 April 1869 – 13 May 1947) was a New Zealand painter chiefly of landscape and still life, and for a short period was a designer of textiles. She was born and raised in New Zealand, but spent most of her working life in England. She is considered one of New Zealand's most prestigious and influential painters, although it is the work from her life in Europe, rather than her home country, on which her reputation rests.
