Matsuda Yuriko (b. 1943)'s whimsical stylization of everyday sights, scenes, and objects shines through in this playful teapot. The decorative artist utilizes color, surface, and decoration to communicate the themes of parody and exaggeration, expressed through irregular compositional forms. Philosophically, she recalls the nonsensical fashion of Dadaism, as inspired by the work of Elsa Schaperelli & others. Often, her textures and surface decor resonate with Japanese textiles. This can be seen in this work, in which the layered repetitive lines span irregularly across a scrolling surface. Matsuda has been named one of the best 150 artists working in Japan by a noted ceramic arts publishing company for her deeply original work that celebrates an essential zest for the landscape of everyday life.
