Laguna Art Museum is exhibiting, “Rebels in Clay: Peter Voulkos

and the Otis Group.” In the mid 1950s, Voulkos led a revolution in

clay by questioning the tradition that ceramic forms must be

functional and instead created sculptural works that gave the medium

a new freedom of expression. “Feat of Clay: Five Decades of Jerry

Rothman” opens. In the ‘60s Laguna Beach ceramic sculptor Rothman

became well-known nationally for struggling to enlarge the scope of

and to overcome the limitations of ceramics that made it unsuitable

for the sculptural ambitions of the time. The exhibit includes his

controversial large scale triptychs of erotic figures and images of

birth. And “Greetings from Laguna Beach: Our Town in the Early

1900s,” featuring paintings, photographs and memorabilia that

exemplify life in Laguna from circa 1900 to 1930. Information: (949)
