The ceramics exhibit, Color and Fire, at the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art has been mentioned previously on this list. I have not seen it yet,
but I am excited to do so. In the magazine that the museum sends to members
it says, "The early pioneers who began working in the 1930s and 1940s laid
the cornerstones of new traditions. The postwar generation that came of age
in the 1950s and 1960s undertook radical experiments that subverted those
traditions. Today contemporary artists around the world mix traditions in a
postmodern dialogue that crosses historical and international borders."
These words reminded me of what a unique time we live in in terms of the
evolution of ceramic arts and how lucky we are to have clayart as an
instrument of this dialogue across borders.
