This ceramic wall decoration from the 1960s, attributed to Albert Strunz for the German manufacturer Cortendorf, exemplifies the expressive, sculptural language of postwar decorative arts. The relief features a stylized female profile: the face, rendered in a deep, satin black with a smooth, lightly reflective finish, stands in vivid contrast to the bold red lips. The hair, gathered into a high ponytail, is modeled in flowing waves of pastel blue, accented by subtle white and lavender highlights, creating a dynamic, almost iridescent effect. The overall design is distinctly theatrical and cinematic, characteristic of mid-century modern aesthetics, with striking color choices and an energetic, spatial quality. Crafted in high-quality ceramic, the piece presents crisp facial features and sharply defined hair texture. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible cracks, chips, or repairs—the surface remains clean and uniform.The shape and palette of this object speak to the spirit of the 1960s, when applied arts drew inspiration from pop culture and bold, stylized silhouettes. The ceramic portrait, with its accentuated lips and flowing hair, captures the fascination with modernity and fashion of that era. The smooth, black ceramic absorbs and reflects light, while the blue hair seems to ripple across the wall, as if animated by a passing breeze. The piece evokes the postwar European context, when everyday objects became more personal and even theatrical, bridging the worlds of art and design.This wall sculpture can be displayed as a stand-alone focal point on a light-colored wall in a living room or hallway, where its color and form will stand out. It may also be combined with geometric mirrors, abstract paintings, or other mid-century ceramics to
