Walch-Chan Gallery Ceramics are one of the most enduring indicators of culture. on view By examining how clay has been used through time, we open the doors of the past and find clues to the human experience. The aesthetic range of ceramics is broad, from humble bowls to ornate figures. This exhibition features a glimpse into the many styles and functions of ceramics as well as the forming, glazing, and firing practices that distinguish the medium throughout history. Ceramics are one of the oldest human activities and also one of the most technically challenging crafts to master. Unlike a painting where forms develop with each brushstroke, the outcome of ceramics is not immediate. It is only at the end, after the firing is complete, when the final result is revealed. From Chinese funerary sculpture to contemporary vessels, Clay Through Time explores ceramic objects that span over 3,000 years. During the 19th century, when most people could After J. M. W. Turner Italian English, 1775–1851 Deruta Maiolica Vase, not embark on a costly trip overseas to see original Engraved by James Tilbitts 16th century paintings and sculpture, one way to experience the Willmore Tin-glazed earthenware English, 1800–1863 14 x 12 x 12 inches artist’s vision was to look at reproductive prints.

In the case of English artist J. M. W. Turner (1775– 1851), many of his paintings were in England (Tate Gallery, London), where they still remain today. While the printed versions do not take the place of seeing the original paintings and watercolors, the works in The Engraver and Mr. Turner demonstrate the creative and inventive enterprise of the engraver, who had to not only reproduce Turner’s infamous painting style in precise lines, but had to The Graphics Gallery do it in reverse. is sponsored by EXHIBITIONS 5 6 EXHIBITIONS Function, Form & Fantasy Members Preview Passionate Pursuit: Defining Ceramics from the Dr. Robert & Deanna Collector Genius Harris Burger Collection Friday 5.6.16 6p 5.7.16 – 8.14.16 Guest Lecturer Hodge Galleries Judith S.
