Handmade tableware

Image result for handmade tableware


The "Home Cooking - A Case for Handmade Tableware" by Shannon Garson introduces different ways to present handmade tableware. Garsen basically said that each handmade pot or creation tells a story just like a writer does when writing a story. The pots or other creations that are made tell us the beauty that the potter wants to tell us and what they like. I chose this handmade tableware because of how elegant it looks and especially of how much texture is shown. I love the details on the plates too. they remind me of the stitching in doyle's.

The plate above was made by Judy Chicago and was included in the dinner party. The Dinner Party was multi-faceted in that her goal was to introduce the richness of women’s heritage into the culture in a number of ways which included a monumental work of art. The work of art, that was eventually housed at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, consists of a series of Entryway Banners, the ceremonial table representing 39 important historical female figures, the Heritage Panels, which elucidate the contributions of the 999 women on the Heritage Floor, and the Acknowledgement Panels that identify Judy Chicago’s assistants and collaborators. Together, these components celebrate the many aspects of women’s history and contributions. This plate was dedicated to Elizabeth Blackwell, who was notable for being the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. I like this piece due to the stacking and different colors used.

The rim is thin and has a notch for a spoon which I thought was useful for its purpose.  I enjoy the contemporary design and the simple shape of the jar. The brush work of the glaze gives the piece a sophisticated look and feel to it, which I enjoyed.

Assassination of a Famous Nut Artist, 1971

Image
Robert Arneson was definitely a very unique artist than most who wasn't afraid to expose the vulgarity and honesty of reality. In this sculpture, he voices his political views of being a "vehicle" for anger and pain. He once said, " I want to make high art that is funny, outrageous and also reveals the human condition, which is not always high.”
