George Ohr: Modern artist ahead of schedule
Article Abstract:
A potter who worked between 1880 and 1910, George Ohr's idea of altering wheel-thrown vessels, his spontaneous creativity, and the iconoclastic characteristics of his most advanced essays in form were radical and alien to his time. Ohr's mode of creativity precedes and seems to fortell the concepts and methods of non-representational artists of the 1940s-'60s, in particular abstract expressionists painters who rejected tradition and imagery, and intuitively discovered their work during the creative process.
