Comments (0) BEST SHOW TO FAST-FORWARD FROM THE '60S - 2006

Maynard Tischler Victoria H. Myhren Gallery

Maynard Tischler is a local legend in ceramics. He's taught at the University of Denver for more than forty years and is well known for his pop-art ceramic sculptures, including a dead-on depiction of a box of books from nearly a half-century ago. That piece directly anticipated some of his recent creations, such as a pile of unbelievably real-looking garden tools. These newer pieces made up the bulk of his last solo, Maynard Tischler, at the Victoria H. Myhren Gallery on the University of Denver campus, but there were also a few anchor pieces from the 1960s. In addition to ceramics, Tischler excels in vessel-making, working in both traditional styles and his own cubistic designs. So he's not only one of the best ceramic sculptors in the region, but one of the best potters, too.

Thanks for the post, it was super interesting to read. Next time, can you write about <a href="http://www.drcameronsordi.com">dentist</a>s, a topic near and dear to my heart? That would be simply great, not to mention entertaining.
