皮埃尔·库洛（1938-2011）是一位比利时陶艺家和雕塑家，曾师从安托万·德·文克和英国陶艺大师伯纳德·利奇。他是20世纪50年代将陶艺转变为艺术形式的陶艺家之一。在作品中，皮埃尔·库洛热情地表达了他对融入世界、立足大地、置身于生命与美丽唯一源泉——自然的渴望。他将黏土塑造成板状，刻划并施以釉料，使之成为具有庄严气质的日常用品。在职业生涯中，库洛致力于精进技艺，通过结合每件作品中的原生土壤与具有独特变化的华丽釉料，在尺寸和表面效果上塑造他的作品。

库洛一生都忠于他最初的陶艺经历，他的陶艺作品从基本形式（碗、盘、壶）演变为更大胆的形状（十字形花瓶、葫芦形壶、组合壶、墨水池），甚至通过雕刻花园围墙延伸到了景观空间。本书全面概述了他在陶艺、雕塑和景观设计方面独特而多面的职业生涯。

Pierre Culot (1938-2011) was a Belgian ceramist and sculptor who was trained by Antoine de Vinck and English master potter Bernard Leach. He is one of the ceramists of the 1950s who transformed their craft into an art form. In his work, Pierre Culot passionately expresses his desire to be in the world, to be on earth and to be in nature the sole generator of life and beauty. The clay that he molds into slabs, scratches and enamels becomes containers for daily use with majestic presence. Over his career Culot aimed at mastery of his practice, shaping his pieces in terms of size and in surface effect, by combining the raw earth in each item with luxuriant enamels that had unique variations.

All of Culot’s life he remained faithful to his initial experience as a potter, evolving his ceramic works from basic forms (bowls, plates, jugs) to more daring shapes (cruciform vases, gourds, compound pots, inkwells), and even into the landscape space by sculpting garden walls. This book offers a complete overview of his unique and multi-faceted career in pottery, sculpture and landscaping.
