This is an elegant analysis of the work of three of Denmark’s masters of contemporary ceramic art. From salt-glazing, to the development of the raku-fired vase, from organic, “ œsoft,“ curved lines to sharp, linear geometry, whether the emphasis is on texture or form or function, each artist offers a unique and exciting contribution to the field. Of special interest are Karen Bennicke’s “ œSplit Pyramid“ , Bente Hansen’s “ œFunctional Teapot“ and “ œFolded Vessel“ and Peder Rasmussen’s brilliant, mulit-colored vases.
