Might be my favourite post all year. Could be a long time before anyone posts another ceramicist's obit! Anyway, I love this guy!

 

Harrison McIntosh, noted ceramicist and longtime Claremont resident died Thursday, January 21 in Claremont. He was 101.

His passion was vessel work (he never made the same one twice).

At his 100th birthday celebration in September 2014, Mr. McIntosh pondered on his enthusiasm for creating the vessels that marked his decades-long career as an artist. "Why was I dumb enough to keep making the same thing for 60 years? he asked. Its taken me 100 years to learn."

Do Warhol superstars belong in this thread? Wikipedia quote: Warhol superstars were a clique of New York City personalities promoted by the pop artist Andy Warhol during the 1960s and early 1970s. These personalities appeared in Warhol's artworks and accompanied him in his social life, epitomizing his famous dictum, "In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes". Warhol would simply film them, and declare them "superstars".

 

Most of them have a Wikipedia page so that means something, right?

 

Don't ask how I got to this....I don't remember how I even got to read about Warhol.....I remember reading about The Carpet from Bagdad....
