Toshiko Takaezu: An Analysis of Cross Cultural Influences
This sixteen-page graduate paper examines the ceramic artistry of Toshiko Takaezu and other ceramic artists, and discusses the influence of Japanese and other cultures on their work. The author notes that Toshiko has devoted herself to pottery and teaching since she began her artistic career in 1948. She has enriched and inspired ceramic artists around the world for more than half a century, and like many ceramic artists who share similarities of style and theme, she is the product of a number of cultural influences which have contributed to the unique artistic sensibility so evident in her work.
