Download or read book The Art of Contemporary American Pottery written by Kevin A. Hluch and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty will always reside in the eye of the beholder, but what about the fine line between beauty and functionality? Can a purely utilitarian form, such as a simple pot, vase, or plate, truly be considered a great work of art? In The Art of Contemporary American Pottery, author Kevin A Hluch takes up the challenge of addressing this debate. Hluch, who examines pottery from a unique perspective as historian, scholar and connoisseur, finds as much meaning and nobility in a thoughtfully crafted clay vessel as he does in a masterpiece painting. There are many reasons why a good pot is a good pot. Some reasons are obvious. Some are subtle. Some only reveal themselves when you know how to look. With the help of more than 200 beautiful color photos featuring the world of the country's best utilitarian potters, and a lengthy list of artists and galleries, Hluch does more than just talk about how great pottery is made. He talks about what makes great pottery.

Book excerpt: The first ever book to provide a comprehensive overview of British pottery, The Potter's Arttraces this remarkable history of pottery all the way from the rudimentary pots of the Middle Ages to the sophisticated art of today's studio potters. Beginning with the peasant potter, Garth Clark moves on to describe the development of style and fashion under the notorious Josiah Wedgwood. He also examines the work of the artist-potters William De Morgan and the Martin brothers, and the studio potters Bernard Leach and Lucie Rie. Focusing particularly on the distinctly human angle to the craft, the author brings the potters to life by describing their working conditions, lifestyles and characters. For all collectors and potters, this is an indispensable survey which sheds new light on the history of British pottery. For anyone with a sense of aestheticism or a general interest in the arts, it is an absorbing introduction to perhaps the most fundamental artistic medium in the history of civilization.
