Bowl
American ceramists continued to explore new directions, especially in the years immediately preceding and following World War II. Just as painting and sculpture of the 1940s broke new boundaries, moving into daring abstraction and more aggressive approaches to process, so too ceramists took ever greater liberties. Glen Lukens, who headed the ceramic program at the University of Southern California, exemplified this new approach to materials.
