Betty Woodman- Jillian Smith

 

Betty Woodman was a famous ceramist. She started pottery classes when she was 16 years old. Woodman began her career in the 1950s as a production potter. Her career moved from functional pottery to fresh and exuberant art culminating in a retrospective show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2006, the first such retrospective for a living, female ceramicist, and a solo show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2016 with the title Theatre of the Domestic. I chose this piece of artwork because I thought they were very interesting shapes and the colors that were used mixed very well together. I think i liked how i could not figure out what the pieces are supposed to be or represent.
