Robert Arneson-Michelle Mortillaro

 

Robert Arneson was an American sculptor and professor of ceramics. Arneson and several other California artists began to abandon the traditional manufacture of functional ceramic objects and instead began to make nonfunctional sculpts that made confrontational statements. This piece by Arneson was made in 1992 called Head Lamp. I just thought it gave off a funky vibe and was definitely something different that I haven't seen before. I like his style because it isn't the norm, his work became known as "Funk Art".
