From the Collection of Nick and Suzanne Nicholas. Mata Ortiz Polychrome Pot by Nicolas Quezada, measures 6 in. x 6.25 in., comes with photo of artist, Nicolas Quezada (Mata Ortiz) was Juan Quezada's brother and arguably among the top four potters in Mata Ortiz. He had an unending enthusiasm for working with the clay, and his inventiveness and innovation were literally unparalleled. His designs were pure elegance. He painted long, sharp, curving lines and bands on pottery whose color comes from special combinations of different clays that Nicolas had introduced. Nicolas is discussed on pages 160-163 of the book The Many faces of Mata Ortiz. From the Collection of Nick and Suzanne Nicholas.
