Color and Fire: Defining Moments in Studio Ceramics, 1950-2000 Video (DVD)

The video Defining Moments in Studio Ceramics continues the Color and Fire series with expert aplomb. Interviews with Ruth Duckworth, Richard Shaw, John Mason, Ron Nagle, Otto Nazler and many others illuminate all pretensions and expertly highlight the evolution of modern ceramic art. The video also discusses ceramic arcs and themes in history, including:

• vessel ceramics
• form and function
• Abstract
• Funk

The film balances out an illuminating and clear debate on the differences and qualities of decorative art and fine art. At just under an hour, the video covers the universal aspects of ceramics produced partly by the minds of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
