Ron Nagle (b. San Francisco, California, February 21, 1939) is an American sculptor, musician and songwriter.〔(Art in America Magazine )〕 He is known for small-scale, refined sculptures of great detail and compelling color. Nagle lives and works in San Francisco, California.〔 ==Life== Born in San Francisco in 1939, Nagle was introduced to ceramics by his mother at an early age. He practiced ceramics in high school and developed an interest in jewelry-making which he pursued into his college years. Nagle enrolled as an English major at San Francisco State College, but later switched to the school's BFA program and graduated with a focus in ceramics in 1961. Between 1961 and 1978, Nagle taught ceramics at San Francisco Art Institute, California College of Arts and Crafts, as well as at the University of California Berkeley where he apprenticed to Peter Voulkos, a core member of the Abstract Expressionist Ceramics. In 1978, Nagle began a professorship at Mills College where he taught ceramics for over 30 years. His involvement in West Coast culture—surfing, rock music, hot rod culture—is integral to both his art and music. Nagle owned a 1948 Ford Coupe to which he applied 40 coats of British racing green, sanding between each layer to achieve depth of color.〔Ruby, Sterling. "Custom Clay." ''Kaleidoscope.'' Fall 2011, pp. 44-49.〕 This same fanaticism is evident in the detailed color and texture of his sculptures. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ron Nagle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
