He began his career at Rörstrand in 1939 as a decorator under Gunnar Nylund. In 1943, he also worked as an assistant to Isaac Grünewald, an experience that strongly shaped the development of his early style. From 1945 onward, he worked as an independent artist within Rörstrand’s art department, focusing on stoneware, and in 1948 he held his first solo exhibition in Stockholm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis early work, shaped by a wide range of influences and stylistic approaches, was received largely positively as the emergence of a major new talent, and touring exhibitions were organized throughout Sweden. During a stay in Paris from 1948 to 1949, he studied sculpture under Ossip Zadkine. He also expanded his artistic horizons through encounters with the ceramic work of Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, and after returning to Sweden he unveiled a new direction in his 1952 solo exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfluenced by Chinese and other East Asian ceramics, Stålhane developed a style characterized by austere elegance, refined simplicity, and sharply disciplined form. These works were highly acclaimed and came to define his artistic identity in the 1950s. He continued to seek out new forms of expression throughout his career, producing a substantial and varied body of work. From 1954, he also designed tableware, and in the 1960s he became active in public art. Between 1963 and 1971, he taught ceramics and glass at the School of Design and Crafts in Göteborg, where he also trained younger generations of artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in 1964 and installed in Kansas City, USA, his monumental work Growing Country stretched to 54 meters in length. In 1973, he left Rörstrand and founded Designhuset with colleagues, where he continued working until his death in 1990. During this period, he also designed for Bing \u0026amp; Grøndahl. His many honors included an Honorary Diploma at the Milan Triennale in 1951 and a Gold Medal in 1954.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CARL-HARRY STÅLHANE","offers":[{"title":"BROWN \/ CHSC126","offer_id":48600833818864,"sku":null,"price":275000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/5761\/8160\/files\/CHSC126_1.jpg?v=1765969719"}],"url":"https:\/\/elephant-life.com\/en\/collections\/rorstrand.oembed","provider":"ELEPHANT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
