Fine Art Masterpieces Vienna Former Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration in Vienna's 9th District The Fayences of Mâitre Leherb "The Continents" had been created by Helmut Leherb, assisted by Ali Meyer. Starting with a little origin painting, an enormous black and white paper enlargement by 64 m² for each continent was produced, for transmitting the layout and the perspective to the fayence material. The porous clay pieces of ceramics are covered with a pewter glaze. After modelling the pieces had been dried and baked at around 900 degress Celsius. When cooled down they had been dipped into a glaze bath of sand, potash, lead, tin and water. It remains as a glaze on the surface of the pieces. Regarding to the jumbo size photo enlargements, it was painted by the Mâitre with high temperature colours and then melted on again at more than 1100 degrees Celsius. Depending on the kind of colour material used a third firing was needed in order to fix the glaze. Atleast another, a photographic masterpiece, from the Mâitre`s final artwork was done by Ali Meyer.
