MOORCROFT 13cm VASE (Shape No 403/5) "YEATS ARMISTICE REMEMBRANCE" VASE (Limited Edition 50 Only This One Being No 41) Signed By Designer Kerry Goodwin R.R.P. £385.00.
(World War I is now remembered through its literature perhaps more than any other art form. William Butler Yeats, widely considered to be among the great poets of the English language, received the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature. His words within An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, resonates with many. ‘I know that I shall meet my fate, somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.’ Yeats was deeply moved by the spirit of the pilots of the day, who, time after time, would get back in the cockpit and fly out to meet their fates. With Irish heritage of her own, Kerry created a poppy design as the visual accompaniment to Yeats’ prose. Layers of pillar box-red petals gather across a dark background which melts into sky blue, and eventually disappears into the milky white of clouds above.)
