Funk Art
ファンク・アート / 1960s–1970s / Style / Postwar American Art
Mouvement de céramique et de sculpture né dans la baie de San Francisco, qui salit délibérément le bon goût et l'autorité de l'abstraction. Couleurs criardes, humour corporel et mésusage assumé des matériaux artisanaux tournent en dérision la hiérarchie même de l'art. Un précédent de la grossièreté employée comme stratégie.

Entrée du dictionnaire
- Usages idéaux
- Merchandise, ceramics and product ranges for brands that would rather be funny and physical than tasteful, in food, drink and nightlife · Art direction for youth and counterculture work, where an aggressively unrefined finish signals independence from corporate polish
- Typographie
- Lettering pushed by hand, slumped, uneven, glazed on or modelled in, never a cleanly typeset line.
- Composition
- One lumpen object shot frontally and filling the frame, with nothing composed around it.
- Matière
- Bright running glazes over visible clay, with drips, thumbprints and firing accidents kept rather than corrected.
- Précaution
- Making the roughness neat: a controlled imperfection reads as one more kind of taste, and the joke, which is aimed at taste, stops working.
- Pour approfondir
