You see, back in those days if you wanted ice cold lemonade you had to juice the cow yourself, and that could be one humdinger of a pink pickle if you know what I mean. If you dont, that's no suprise - cause I was just talking gibberish! Now back to the pottery!
There's some basic flavors of pottery art, namely two. One is art consisting of the object itself. For instance a finely crafted bowl or gorgeous little teacup could be considered art all by itself. Now the second group would be normal everyday junk like that which has been embellished, which is just a fancy way of saying it's been fancied up.
fancy.
So what's the big hoopla with all this pottery art one might ask? It's mighty good looking for one and is also suprisingly robust in most conditions which makes it a fine addition for those too lazy to take care of other forms of art like painting for fine woodwork. Pottery is kinda like the best of both worlds, it's as solid as stone but as dynamic as life itself.
There's also the rich historic aspect that goes with pottery collecting. Here in San Juan desert we collect a lot of native american artistic pieces, including the olde tyme peace pipe which has been made famous by so many westerns. These items connect mankind like a river to his source in the eternal buffalo. It might have actually been the back of a turtle, I'm not sure. The point is this stuff is old.
Modern day pottery art is equally awesome though. These objects continue to fascinate the art world because they give the artist three dimensions of space with which to work thus enabling a more fufilling and exciting piece. Also there's a lot of drinking at these art things so they like stuff that won't break if they bump into it and that's easily cleaned (preferably by hosing it off.)
I've been collecting these artistic works for years, you truly can't do better than adding some fine San Juan pottery art to your collection!
