Description: Highlighting a portion of the 20th-century ceramics collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this handsome book showcases both the functional and sculptural aspects of the clay medium, from Laura sps ok throughout/pk Andreson's elegantly simple porcelain Yellow Orange Bottle to Robert Arneson's earthenware portrait, Jackson Pollock. Each of 64 ceramists is represented by a photograph of one creation as well as a short discussion of the artist's work. The more provocative pieces in this volume include Akio Takamori's bizarrely metaphoric stoneware Man with Chicken vase; Philip Cornelius's undulating porcelain China Maru Teapot ; Andrea Gill's realistically piscine Fish Soup Tureen ; and Christopher Gustin's anthropomorphic stoneware Pink Vessel . Lynn, an assistant curator at the museum, has written a lively, instructive introduction detailing the evolution of ceramics over the last several decades, and the color plates are suitably expressive.
