John Mason’s Untitled is part of a larger exploration into the physical properties of stoneware that he engaged in for much of his career. His vertical sculptures were sequences of geometric shapes that he referred to as “spears.” In this piece a formal rhythm coheres through repeating twists and curves. Both smooth and rough, columnar and tilted, Mason’s Untitled extends the expressive possibilities of stoneware. Mason began making large-scale work while sharing a studio with Peter Voulkos, and was a key player in the Los Angeles abstract expressionist ceramics avant-garde that centered around Voulkos’s studio.
