Peter Voulkos founded the Arts Ceramics departments at both Los Angeles' Otis College of Art and Design and UC-Berkeley in the 1950s with the verve of an originator. His abstract, emotional sculptures challenged the prevailing view that ceramics were the domain of craft, rather than fine art. The Museum of Craft+Design celebrates that forward-looking legacy with this representative collection of works made under the academic auspices of Voulkos' "revolution in clay." The playfulness and preoccupation with ancient sources found throughout suggest a vital, underrated modern-art movement.
