Figure of a nude man on a small, shallow, triangular base with uneven sides, and of uneven height. He stands on the ball of his right foot. His right leg is bent at the knee, and his left leg, also bent at the knee, is crossed in front of the other leg with the foot in the air. His torso is leaning slightly to the left as he reaches out with both arms to grasp a cockerel which is flying towards the viewer. The man has a long nose, large ears, and hair flying out into two points at the back. His 'cock' is erect (it would probably have dropped off during firing otherwise).

Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Born in Germany, Michael Flynn spent some of his early childhood on a farm in Ireland. He initially studied Fine Art and worked as a painter but moved to study Ceramics at Cardiff College of Art (1975–78) under Alan Barrett-Danes (1935–2004). His highly distinctive figurative ceramics draw inspiration from such diverse sources as Meissen figurines, Expressionist art and the gestural ceramics of Peter Voulkos (1924–2002). Flynn uses a variety of ceramic techniques and materials including raku, terracotta and porcelain. He also occasionally works in bronze. His sculptures explore the tense nature of male/female relationships with suggestions of lust, violence, joy and ecstasy. His work is inspired by stories, myth and legend which he incorporates into his work. He has a studio in Cardiff but also spends parts of the year in Europe, mainly Germany and Poland. ‘A modern critique of traditional porcelain figure groups, clever and witty and highly relevant to the collections here [at The Fitzwilliam Museum].’ Duncan Robinson, Director, The Fitzwilliam Museum, 1995–2007. reference term-109890 adlib-term-109890 825251c2-9904-34be-b6ab-c855347f2247 20th Century, Late reference term-107700 adlib-term-107700 8f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848 Elizabeth II reference term-107680 adlib-term-107680 f7a1775f-c677-384d-a269-0c6dac1a74c9 literal Wales Wales country Cardiff ? reference term-37642 adlib-term-37642 8f36efe3-4fe1-3da2-9944-000db5687ad7 porcelain Height cm 32.8 reference media-196706 adlib-media-196706 5285f68b-8d9c-3745-b42c-1b00b1781e82 jpeg aa/aa33/C_15_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616254286223 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/mid_C_15_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 666 width pixels 500 1616254286223 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/C_15_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616254286223 1 image jpeg aa/aa33/preview_C_15_1999_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1616254286223 1 image 0 media image reference media-15180 adlib-media-15180 afa41e9d-d188-3f0f-b9b3-41579b2bf91c jpeg aa/aa20/C_15_1999.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1616272657488 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_C_15_1999.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1616272657488 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/C_15_1999.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1616272657488 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_C_15_1999.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1616272657488 1 image 1 media image reference media-196857 adlib-media-196857 0b51a88f-3fe5-37df-a157-f1ecfde30291 jpeg aa/aa34/C_15_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616240299647 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_15_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 666 width pixels 500 1616240299647 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_15_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616240299647 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_15_1999_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1616240299647 1 image 2 media image reference media-196858 adlib-media-196858 5215e851-4cfc-361f-a93e-29322ab491cd jpeg aa/aa34/C_15_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616254160826 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_15_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 666 width pixels 500 1616254160826 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_15_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616254160826 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_15_1999_3_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1616254160826 1 image 3 media image reference media-196859 adlib-media-196859 06e14dca-aaee-3ca2-af6b-4bf706d5f947 jpeg aa/aa34/C_15_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616239440241 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/mid_C_15_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 666 width pixels 500 1616239440241 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/C_15_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1616239440241 1 image jpeg aa/aa34/preview_C_15_1999_4_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1616239440241 1 image 4 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Purchased by the donors from Contemporary Applied Arts, 2 Percy Street, London, W1P 9FA reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. p. 139, text p. 138, no. 4530 'Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Sir Nicholas and Lady Goodison Gift'. p. 138 reference publication-2061 adlib-publication-2061 476d12da-cf98-34cd-adba-37133b8a921b National Art Collections Fund Review 1999 Publ. p. 29, short text, with colour illustration 29 reference publication-200001843 adlib-publication-200001843 4fa33587-103a-3608-9de5-1afa6891542b Earth and Fire Publ. pp. 70-1, no. 22, illustrated p. 71.
