1936; 54"H; Heroic in Size. Glazed Ceramic. Subtle pastel colored
undertones with decided pastel shades randomly brushed on hair, eyes
and lips. Not shown is pastel tinted fish in the back being held by
the subject. Gregory always housed this sculpture in his indoor
Garden Room. Below: Cropped version of Bather
CLASSIC BATHER
48"H; also executed in the mid-1930's in unglazed ceramic. Gregory
mixed his own clay and claimed the rich earthy color was
excellent without glaze. Gregory kept this in his outdoor garden
approx three seasons only and housed it in his indoor Garden Room during
the winter months. Though it could withstand sub-zero temp as it was
high fired, he just enjoyed having it around.
