Betty Woodman - Jonathan Accatino

 



Betty Woodman is a ceramic artist who was best known for her exuberantly colorful and inventive work which gained recognition in the early 1970's. She often worked with a deconstructed version of the traditional ceramic vessel, with her pieces ranging from massive site-specific murals to fragmentary columns and carpet-like floor pieces. I picked this piece because I have never seen a pitcher like this, with such on oddly shaped lower half. I also really like the colors and design that were used on this piece in that it almost looks like it has been splatter painted.
