Mineo Okabe "A Retrospective"
This event has ended.
At Crafts Gallery at the National Museum of Modern Art
Media: Ceramics, Art Talk
Mineo Okabe (1919-1990) was a ceramic artist of striking individuality who maintained a proud independence in postwar Japanese ceramics. Although he attracted wide attention in the 1950s with his works using straw-rope patterns intensively applied to wildly shaped, thick earthen bodies, Okabe later changed his style radically to create tranquil celadon ware using traditional techniques. This is the first large-scale retrospective offering an extensive view of Okabe's interesting career.
