Artist ROBERT ARNESON - At U.C. Davis when art department established with no academic hierarchy in late 60's early 70's. "Broke completely with ceramists' role as a producer of tasteful, overly crafted bric-a-brac for middle class sideboards and mantlepieces." (p.122)

"It's a groove to stick your finger down your throat and see what comes up; this is funk." (p. 119). West Coast Funk roots in Dada and Surrealism. "Funk John" self-proclaimed "first mature work" was an exhibition lasting one day. - American Ceramics, 1876 to Present, Clark 1987
