Contemporary Expressions Of The Animal Form No other volume has ever presented such a diverse and captivating collection of contemporary animal-themed ceramics. Juried by distinguished artist and educator Joe Bova, this magnificent gallery includes pieces from an international group of artists; the beautifully crafted works range from the representational to the abstract, from artful realism to provocative surrealism (including animal-human hybrids). Ann Marais image of a waterfowl painted onto a porcelain dish has a restrained, Asian quality. Sharkus painted and smoke-fired stoneware turtle could easily be mistaken for the living creature. Bova provides astute and illuminating commentary overall, with selected artists notes. Joe Bova is Professor Emeritus at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where he taught from 1971 to 1990. He was awarded the SAF/National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1985 and the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art Fellowship in 1980. He has been a visiting artist at many schools, served as a Trustee and Board Member of the Penland School of Crafts, and is a Fellow and Past President of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts.
