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

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”

opens. 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. And “Greetings from Laguna Beach: Our Town in the Early

1900s,” featuring paintings, photographs and memorabilia that

exemplify life in Laguna from circa 1900 to 1930. Information: (949)
