A stunning survey of the avant-garde in Japanese ceramics from 1948 to 1990, from renowned art historian Andreas Marks.
For many Japanese artists, the process of conceptualizing and producing artwork underwent fundamental change after the end of World War II in 1945. The long-standing emphasis on continuity, as was embedded for centuries in traditional media, formats, and hereditary lineages, was rejected by some in favor of a radical new approach, particularly within the field of ceramics. The emergence of an avant-garde and a formal pursuit of innovation can be traced across multiple media. One significant development was the shift by certain artists toward the creation of sculptural forms rather than functional objects. In 1948, a group of five ceramic artists, including Yagi Kazuo (1918-1979), Yamada Hikaru (1923-2001), and Suzuki Osamu (1926-2001), founded Sodeisha--literally, the Crawling through Mud Association. The group remained active until 1998. While more than 60 artists were associated with Sodeisha over time, not all ceramic artists pursuing innovative sculptural work chose to join. Artists such as Kawamoto Goro (1919-1986) and Morino Taimei (born 1934) worked independently, developing distinct artistic paths. Individualism remains a defining characteristic of contemporary Japanese ceramics. This volume examines the origins of that shift by presenting works created before 1990 by both independent artists and members of Sodeisha, tracing the early rupture with established ceramic traditions.Noch keine Bewertungen vorhanden
