For instance, one of the rooms gives a chronological overview of the use of ceramics in the art history of Europe, the United States and Japan. Other rooms focus on various themes, such as The origin of ceramic sculpture, with works by artists like Rodin and Gauguin, the Otis group from California, with artists like Ken Price and John Mason, and Falling vases, breaking plates, with works by Picasso, Ai Weiwei, Anne Wenzel and Edmund de Waal. Finally, there are a number of monograph rooms that have been created in close cooperation with the artists: Katinka Bock, Johan Creten, Eduardo Chillida & Antoni Tàpies, Leiko Ikemura, Klara Kristalova, Luigi Ontani, Elsa Sahal and Thomas Schütte.

    San Francisco, CA: Catharine Clark Gallery presents Wanxin Wanxin Zhang Zhang | Totem with an exhibition of life-size ceramic sculptures. Totem is deeply inspired by Zhang’s upbringing Totem in Maoist China, his subsequent disillusionment, and his ultimate relocation to California as a young artist in the 1990s. The work in the exhibit reflects both a geographical November 8, 2014 – January 3, 2015 journey and an ideological search. Totem demonstrates Zhang’s mastery of the malleable and expressive qualities of Join us for an opening with the artist clay to disrupt and reshape both the form and meaning of on Saturday, November 8 traditional symbols and icons. from 4:00-6:00 pm Zhang’s new monumental clay figures feature the artist’s signature style—a blend that reflects Bay Area Figurative and California Funk traditions with nods to Chinese history. Inspired by his time studying with Peter Voulkous, and by the innovations of Robert Arneson and Stephen De Staebler, Zhang’s figures explore the organic, evocative qualities of clay, and the impact of popular culture on the body. Pink Warrior (2014) exemplifies the departure and hybridity in Zhang’s new work: an androgynous soldier coated in a glossy bubble-gum pink sheen; face and body a landscape of finger prints, gouges, coils and layers; inscripted with individual emotion rather than blank anonymity.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Gyongy Laky, dated October 21, 1999.

  • Earthenware Clays
    Arbuckle Earthenware Earthenware Clays Earthenware usually means a porous clay body maturing between cone 06 – cone 01 (1873°F ‐ 2152°F). Absorption varies generally between 5% ‐20%. Earthenware clay is usually not fired to vitrification (a hard, dense, glassy, non‐absorbent state ‐ cf. porcelain). This means pieces with crazed glaze may seep liquids. Terra sigillata applied to the foot helps decrease absorption and reduce delayed crazing. Low fire fluxes melt over a shorter range than high fire materials, and firing an earthenware body to near vitrification usually results in a dense, brittle body with poor thermal shock resistance and increased warping and dunting potential. Although it is possible to fire terra cotta in a gas kiln in oxidation, this is often difficult to control. Reduced areas may be less absorbent than the rest of the body and cause problems in glazing. Most lowfire ware is fired in electric kilns. Gail Kendall, Tureen, handbuilt Raku firing and bodies are special cases. A less dense body has better thermal shock resistance and will insulate better. Earthenware generally shrinks less than stoneware and porcelain, and as a result is often used for sculpture. See Etruscan full‐size figure sculpture and sarcophagi in terra cotta. At low temperatures, glaze may look superficial & generally lacks the depth and richness of high fire glazes. The trade‐offs are: • a brighter palette and an extended range of color. Many commercial stains burn out before cone 10 or are fugitive in reduction. • accessible technology. Small electric test kilns may be able to plug into ordinary 115 volt outlets, bigger kilns usually require 208 or 220 volt service (the type required by many air conditioners and electric dryers).

  • Paco Durrio Y Paul Gaugin, Una Amistad Que Se Forja En Par…
    PACO DURRIO Y PAUL GAUGUIN: UNA AMISTAD QUE SE FORJA EN PARÍS Iñigo Sarriugarte Gómez Universidad del País Vasco 1-Introducción: Los últimos treinta años del siglo XIX suponen el auge de Cataluña y el País Vasco, consolidándose una base económica, política y social, que marca una notable diferencia con años precedentes. Es en el ámbito de este desarrollo, donde nace Francisco Durrio (1868-1940), posiblemente en el casco viejo de Bilbao. Su familia era de origen francés y se había instalado en la villa unos años antes. Su padre tenía el apellido de Durrieu de Madron. Con las habituales deformaciones lingüísticas generadas por el paso del tiempo, la fonética local lo derivó en Durrio. No obstante, su apellido vuelve a sufrir ciertas derivaciones cuando se desplaza a París, convirtiéndose en Durió1. De niño, recibió junto con Unamuno y Adolfo Guiard clases de pintura, que les imparte Antonio Lecuona. Más adelante, estudia en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Madrid con Pablo Uranga. Se dedica de joven a la escultura y una vez realizada su formación, decide trasladarse a París en 1884 o 1885, con la protección de la familia de Cosme Echevarrieta, llevando el encargo de erigir un mausoleo para el cementerio de Bilbao. Esta experiencia parisina fue tan fructífera que no abandonaría la capital francesa hasta los últimos años de su vida, para realizar otra de sus dedicaciones favoritas: la cerámica, en el pueblo de Saint-Prix (Seine-et-Oise). En este sentido, su vida transcurre entre París y Bilbao, a excepción de una temporada que pasa en Sevres y de su último año en Saint-Prix (Seine- et-Oise).
