Peter Voulkos

Greek/American
1924-2002

Peter Voulkos stands as a Promethean figure, reshaping the vessel — central to Greek antiquity — into a site of physical confrontation. His ceramics erupt with gestural energy, tearing apart the classical form while honoring its primal importance. Like a modern Dionysian potter, Voulkos reclaims the Greek amphora as a symbol of vital chaos.
