I am in the process of sorting ideas for a topic. I am assigned to write
a paper and give a presentation to my art history seminar class that
covers an artist -- or a group of artists -- that have appropriated
ideas from previous art.
I would kind of like to focus on cermics. Another student has chosen
Robert Arneson.
I am wondering whether anybody has a favorite appropriation artist who
works in ceramics. While everyone is influenced by a historical body of
previous work, some make it a special focus.
I have also considered cultural borrowing and influences, ie: the
kidnapping of Korean potters, the efforts to imitate
porcelain/china/majolica/etc. in history, or the hybrid of Mingei-sota
work.
I am NOT asking anyone to do my homework for me! I can search ther
library, the internet and the clayart archives. I just want to narrow
the field a bit and avoid the obvious choices. This is an opportunity
for me to introduce a little ceramic art into a class/program that has
traditionally been dominated by painters and the usual canon of artists.
Yours,
Kelly in Ohio...looking forward to a Thanksgiving break. Tuesday night
was my last sleepover at Diana's house on the edge of campus... (she and
Frank are moving to Saline this week)... Yesterday was the kiln opening
of Patrick and Jen's wood firing... Nancy and I are firing the salt
after Thanksgiving... the calendar pages keep flipping by, only five
months to graduation.

Grayson Perry?

Kelly,
How about tracing the progress of celadon from Korea and southeast
Asia to China and Japan all the way to modern variations of the
glaze. It certainly has traveled and is represented by a wide range
of work and variations in color.
The same thing could be done for Majolica glazes and forms as well.
Also, another suggestion is tracing the movement of ceramics from
functional, traditional work to the non-functional movement and the
influences of early work on the work produced today.
Cheers,
Jeanette
Trying to get herself sorted out in new digs.

Hello Kelly;
Famous Sinophile and Japanophile British potter with the initial of B.L.? A bit obvious, but that's an easy 5,000 word essay.
