Born in 1942 in London, David Miller studied sculpture at the London School of Fine Arts, then pursued graphic design studies in Brighton. With his diploma in hand, he decided to turn toward ceramic art. From 1970 to 1989, he taught this discipline in England, Brazil, Canada, the USA…
One loses oneself with delight in the intricate network of his graphic play — those black lines that float above the torrential invasion of brilliant colors, like so many symbols of creative vitality and infectious joy. How can one not think of Pollock or the New York graffiti artists when looking more closely at his decorations…
“David Miller was someone who crossed boundaries. And not only in a geographical sense, as he had done when moving from England to France. Equally talented in sculpture, painting, and ceramics, the rigid categories of the arts or the classification into ‘modern’ or ‘traditional’ were not contradictions for him — no hierarchies, no incompatibilities. He, who had once studied sculpture and ceramics in London and graphic design in Brighton, was as modern as he was traditional, as much an applied artist as a fine artist. He moved comfortably among the genres and techniques he mastered so expertly and could combine with perfect ease. It was in these different fields that he found his own path, the one that made him unique. After his first pieces — low-temperature salt-fired vessels with lightly engraved decoration — he began, around 1980 in France, to work in raku, creating containers and non-containers decorated with brushwork, marked by his very distinctive gesture. He then continued with wood-fired pieces. At the same time, he began a beautiful production of glazed earthenware, covered with free painting, with luminous, colorful decoration — as artistic as it was traditional, as absolute as it was functional. His work was always defined by an unmistakable and characteristic aesthetic, and his exhibitions inevitably became highlights in the gallery world.” — Marianne Heller

Gustave Tiffoche is one of the great French stoneware artists of the late 20th century. He started his earthenware works at the age of 33.
"In 1961, Tiffoche made his first approach to pottery at Norbert Pierlot, in Ratilly. That year the gallery of the Castle exposes the great names of the ceramics world: Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada, Raîja Tuumi, A.Cumella, Daniel de Montmollin, Georges Jouve, M. and Y. Mohy, Jean and Jacqueline Lerat, De Vinck. He met and became friends with several of them along the way.
Two years later, he set up his workshop in Guérande. He began to produce unique pieces in parallel with a production of utilitarian pieces and built his first wood-fired kiln in 1963.
In 1966, he participated for the first time in a ceramics exhibition at the Hôtel de Sens in Paris, then at the Maison de la Culture in Caen, "Les Potiers contemporains".
He organized his first personal exhibition of ceramics in 1968 at the "Michel Columb" gallery of Marie-Jo Marot in Nantes. On the walls, the paintings are of Gaston Chaissac. Exhibits came one after another afterwards, throughout France and abroad: Stuttgart in 1969, Montreal in 1970, Munich in 1971, Faienza in 1972, Dakar in 1984 and Sarrelouis in 1994. At the same time, regular exhibitions at the "convergence" gallery in Nantes allow the artist to continue his artistic evolution and questioning.
He created a monumental ceramic fountain for the IUT in Saint-Nazaire in 1981. Other monumental works in stoneware will follow in La Roche-sur-Yon, Niort, Melle, Rennes, Bouaye, IRESTE of Nantes...
Between 1970 and 1985, many young ceramists came to learn or perfect their craft, or collaborated directly with him by working in his workshop. Among them, of note: Jorgen Hansen...

Shiko Shikou Munakata Rare Signed Japanese Pottery Chawan Tea Bowl
Signed Box
By Shiko Munakata
Located in Studio City, CA
An exceptionally rare, wonderfully designed Chawan tea bowl by famed Japanese master woodblock printmaker/ artist Shiko Munakata (1903-1975) who is widely considered to be the most important Japanese visual artist of the 20th century and the Pablo Picasso of Japan. This hand-painted work clearly illustrates Munakata's whimsical side as it is of a Koma - a child's spinning top toy. Very few examples of Munakata's work in ceramics exist still today.
The work is signed by Munakata on the base as well as the original wood protective storage box (his seal can also be seen faintly in the lower-left corner).
The bowl has a small kintsugi or "golden joinery" repair - the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold - on the inside. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
Munakata who is often compared to Picasso was primarily associated with and a principal figure in both the Sosaku-Hanga (which stressed the artist as the sole creator ) and the Mingei (folk art) movements. His many accolades and awards include the "Prize of Excellence" at the Second International Print Exhibition in Lugano, Switzerland in 1952, and first prize at the São Paulo Bienal Exhibition in Brazil in 1955, followed by the Grand Prix Award at the Venice Biennale in 1956, and the Order of Cultural Merit, the highest honor in the arts by the Japanese government in 1970. In 1960 after returning from a year abroad exhibiting his work in the United States, the Horinji Temple in Kyoto bestowed upon him the honorary rank of “Hokkyo”. In 1962, he received the rank of “Hogan” from Nisseki Temple in Toyama prefecture. He also received a Medal of Honor in 1963 and the Asahi Shimbun culture prize in 1965.
Munakata's work can be found in numerous international collections and museums including:
The Britsih Museum, UK
The Chicago Art Institute
Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), NY
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), NY
The Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM), Washington DC
Kemper Art Museum, St. Louis
