Ceramics and ceramic art means artwork
made out of clay and fired to form a ceramic
Fine art ceramics include ceramic art made by hand and designed to be
purely art, that is to be looked at and enjoyed visually and
contemplatively, without any further uses. It is often one of a kind.
In modern art theory, the fine art pot or expressive pot has been used as
a name of pottery that aspires to the conditions of fine art, generally by
prioritizing conceptual and aesthetic qualities over functionality or
usefulness. Fine art pot has been used as a term opposite of the phrase
ethical pot (meaning utilitarian pottery) - at least by ceramic art
theorists defining art styles and their merits since the 1940s.
Fine art pot styles were led and taught by William Staite Murray and other
post-war potters such as Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. The alternative Arts
and Crafts style of ethical pot (simple and utilitarian studio pottery)
was explored by potter Bernard Leach and his followers.

The modern art movement in pottery is experimental in nature. Many
styles originated from the Arts and Crafts movement when studio
potters were looking to find a place and definition for the crafts in
the age of industrialization and mechanized-production, and from the
desire to re-establish ceramics as a fine art medium.
Modern ceramic artists and potters often engage in what has become
know as the "Art versus Craft debate", in which the merits of each
pottery approach are perpetually reiterated without resolution. |
