介绍（中）	密西西比州比洛克西的乔治·奥尔可以说是典型的美国艺术陶艺家：他建造了自己的窑炉，挖掘粘土，极其熟练地将器皿扔在陶工的轮子上，使其变得非常薄，改变了这些形状，然后用自己的新颖釉料覆盖它们。在形式和装饰上，它们本质上是抽象表现主义的对象，比这场运动成立早了近50年。这两个花瓶特别好地说明了奥尔轻盈、华丽的缎带手柄是如何改变传统的器皿形式的。在其中一个花瓶上，增加了蛇形手柄，手柄内部有五个点连接到花瓶主体，使器皿具有全新的轮廓。第二个花瓶不仅展示了奥尔不同寻常的蛇形把手，还展示了他对变形的着迷，他挤压和捏住了上部，形成了一个双颈容器。把手几乎给人一种翅膀附在花瓶纤细腰部的印象。在这两个例子中，把手都让人想起威尼斯玻璃高脚杯上奢华的龙腾这些花瓶上的釉料也展示了奥尔的新颖釉料，其中大部分与当时美国陶瓷中见过的任何釉料都不一样。橙色的釉料是一种色调，有点像浮士主义绘画的调色板；另一个花瓶，表现了奥尔对传统的漠视，有两种不同的釉料处理，一种在正面，另一种在背面。
介绍（英）	George Ohr of Biloxi, Mississippi, was arguably the quintessential American art potter: he built his own kiln, dug his clay, threw his vessels with extreme proficiency on the potter’s wheel to wafer thinness, altered those shapes, and then covered them with his own novel glazes. In form and decoration they are essentially Abstract Expressionist objects—almost 50 years before that movement was founded. These two vases illustrate especially well how Ohr’s lithe, flamboyant, ribbon handles transform a traditional vessel form. On one, the addition of the serpentine handles—with five points where the interior of the handle attaches to the body of the vase—give the vessel an entirely new profile. The second vase exhibits not only Ohr’s unusual serpentine handles, but also his fascination with altered form, where he squeezed and pinched the upper portion to form a double-necked vessel. The handles almost give the impression of wings attached to the slender waist of the vase. In both examples, the handles are reminiscent of the extravagant dragon stems on Venetian glass goblets. The glazes on these vases also exhibit Ohr’s novel glazes, most of which were unlike anything ever seen in American ceramics at that date. The orange glaze is a hue that harks to the palette of Fauvist painting; the other vase, in an expression of Ohr’s disregard for convention, features two different glaze treatments, one on the front and the other on the back.
