Winnipeg 1937<\/p>\n<p>Thorlaksson studied and graduated in Fine Arts from San Jose State University California and taught ceramics in  B.C.<br \/>\nthrough the 70s.<br \/>\nThorlaksson  was  influenced by the Chinese ceramic forms and glazes of the Sung, Yuan and Ming  dynasties. During the 1960&#8217;s, when he was studying, he found he was not entirely in line with the prevailing attitudes.  In  an  interview in 1977 he said, <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;My style was not very well received. The  trends  then  were  ceramics  that  had  a  total  earthy functional quality, or to those which gave social comment. There was a general resentment towards elegance and other characteristics associated with the Imperial Chinese periods.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For every pot Gordon Thorlaksson made, he made an accompanying ceramic base in the Chinese tradition.  <\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/gordon-thorlaksson-bowl-82\/\">Gordon Thorlaksson bowl<\/a><\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"Canadian Pottery - Gordon Thorlaksson bowl, 1975, dia. 12\u2033 - British Columbia","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":1085,"height":830,"file":"2018\/10\/Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-300x229.jpg","width":300,"height":229,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-300x229.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-768x588.jpg","width":768,"height":588,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-768x588.jpg"},"large":{"file":"Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-1024x783.jpg","width":1024,"height":783,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82-1024x783.jpg"},"full":{"file":"Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82.jpg","width":1085,"height":830,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":353,"source_url":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Thorlaksson-bowl-82.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378"}]}}
