Orchester Kuriosum Pierre Cussion Boettger Stoneware

With "Orchester Kuriosum," MEISSEN artist Maria Walther creates an imaginative world in which people and musical instruments merge into extraordinary beings. "Pierre Cussion" embodies the rhythmic power of drums and the drum kit, translating sound, movement, and musical temperament into an expressive sculptural form.

The rounded shapes of the drums become an integral part of the figure itself. Voluminous elements define its silhouette, giving "Pierre Cussion" a presence that is both powerful and playful. The energy and rhythm of the drum kit seem to flow directly into the figure's posture and sculptural composition.

Crafted from MEISSEN Böttger Stoneware, "Pierre Cussion" acquires an especially distinctive material character. The stoneware's signature reddish-brown tone and warm, earthy appearance accentuate the sculptural modeling while lending the figure remarkable depth and expressive presence.

Inspired by Asian mythologies in which fantastical beings are believed to possess the ability to animate objects, Maria Walther transforms instrument and personality into a singular new entity. Bringing together contemporary art, musical imagination, and MEISSEN's exceptional tradition of Boettger Stoneware, "Pierre Cussion" is a distinctive collector's piece with a character all its own.
