Special Exhibition: "Taizo Kuroda" Catalog Size: 30.3 x 23.0 cm, 288 pages Taizo Kuroda (1946–) is known worldwide for his serene white porcelain works. His simple forms, such as the "cylinder," which are representative of his work and shaped on a potter's wheel, transcend the notion of vessels, evoking in the viewer a sense of tension through reduced lines and space. Kuroda moved to Paris at the age of 20 and encountered ceramics in Canada in 1967. He held his first solo exhibition in 1982 after returning to Japan. From 1992, when he first presented his white porcelain works, this became the focus of his creation. This exhibition features approximately 60 white porcelain works by Kuroda, primarily from the Ise Cultural Foundation and the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka. 1.
