Bio:
Danish faience art of the 1960s was characterised by an experimental visual language in which ceramic form was combined with painterly and abstract decoration. Artists such as Thorkild Olsen worked with free brushwork and organic compositions, giving each piece an individual and distinctly artistic expression.
