Tomiya Matsuda Sinuous Modern Ceramic Sculpture

About the Item
Heathered earthen glazed terra cotta sculpture by Tomiya Matsuda (1939-2011). A sinuous abstract shape with unfinished sides and half round base. Geometric top circular detail. Tomiya Matsuda (1939-2011) studied at the Kyoto University during the late 1950s and early 1960s, the most active time for the Sodeisha group. After obtaining his graduate degree, Matsuda worked as a visiting professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) in 1967 and 1968.
From the estate of William August Hoffman, a professor of ceramics at SAIC during Matsuda's time there. Hoffman acquired the work from the artist when Matsuda returned to Japan in 1968.
