Suzuki Osamu 鈴木冶 Japanese

Not on view

Suzuki Osamu began his career in 1948 as a cofounder of the Kyoto-based avant-garde group Sōdeisha, which was dedicated to exploring the possibilities of ceramic sculpture independent of ancient shapes or function. By the mid-1950s, nonfunctional work became his focus. One of the pioneers of contemporary, abstract ceramic art, he worked in both porcelain and stoneware.
