‘REBELS IN CLAY’

Laguna Art Museum is exhibiting, “Rebels in Clay: Peter Voulkos

and the Otis Group.” In the mid 1950s, Voulkos led a revolution in

clay by questioning the tradition that ceramic forms must be

functional and instead created sculptural works that gave the medium

a new freedom of expression. “Feat of Clay: Five Decades of Jerry

Rothman” will run through February 29. In the ‘60s Laguna Beach

ceramic sculptor Rothman became well-known nationally for struggling

to enlarge the scope of and to overcome the limitations of ceramics

that made it unsuitable for the sculptural ambitions of the time. The

exhibit includes his controversial large scale triptychs of erotic

figures and images of birth. Laguna Art Museum is at 307 Cliff Drive.

Information: (949) 494-8971.
