Marcia Selsor Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I thought since Voulkos tends to get responses from folks, I would share some pics from the Carlo Zauli Museum and surrounding city of Faenza. Zauli's life was a similar timeline and experience with WWII. he was from Faenza and began as a potter. His work changed with a "happy accident of a severely cracked piece and it changed his direction. His studio is as he left it when he died. The building has been turned into a museum. In the 1990s he had a touring exhibition throughout Japan in four cities.Comparing his abstract expressionism to Voulkos', I find his work to be more sensual and flowing. He used one glaze which accented the ridges and the form with a sugary breaking surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I had not known of Carlo Zauli until you posted this. I find his work as you said "sensual" and in direct contrast to that of Voulkos which I consider "brutal". I will certainly keep the museum on my list of to do's if I ever get back to Faenza. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 agree, but I wish the pictures would go bigger when clicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Faenza ia a great place to visit for people interested in ceramics both contemporary and historical. Many ceramicists have lived here and many still do. There is a Ceramics Olympics in Sept.where there are prizes for throwing. there are many Zauli links. Here is a good one. https://www.flickr.com/photos/museocarlozauli/sets/72157633509640144/ Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
