Peter Voulkos served in the US Army Air Forces from 1943 to 1946. He then started his college education at Montana State College earning a BS in 1951. The following year he got a MFA degree at California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. He is known for his abstract expressionist ceramic sculptures that crossed the traditional division between ceramic art and fine art. This image above is one of Voulkos pieces called "Vessel" crafted in 1955. I chose this image because I like he used calm colors, they're not too bright or dark. I also found it interesting how he tilted the middle face instead of making it straight like the others.
