Funk Art
ファンク・アート / 1960s–1970s / Style / Postwar American Art
Movimiento de cerámica y escultura surgido en la bahía de San Francisco que ensució deliberadamente el buen gusto y la autoridad de la abstracción. Colores chillones, humor corporal y un mal uso intencionado de los materiales artesanales se ríen de la propia jerarquía del arte. Un precedente del uso de la tosquedad como estrategia.
Vidriados de colores chillones / Motivos corporales y groseros / Mal uso intencionado de los materiales artesanales / Acabados que conservan la tosquedad de lo hecho a mano
