Book excerpt: Clarice Cliff is widely regarded as Britain's premier designer of Art Deco ceramics. Her hand-painted Bizarre ware, with its brilliant colors and innovative shapes, is avidly collected worldwide. Though all her distinctive pottery is popular, it is her floral designs that have always been the most commercially successful, both during her lifetime and today.

Download or read book Clarice Cliff written by Lynn Knight and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The captivating biography of one of the most important designers of the twentieth century - adapted for Sky Cinema starring Phoebe Dynevor, Matthew Goode and David Morrissey 'A thoughtful and fascinating biography, packed with fabulous pictures' Image '[the author] has done wonders in building up a picture of a woman of exceptional self-reliance and determination' Guardian Clarice Cliff was one of the most prominent ceramic designers of the twentieth century. Born in 1899 in the Staffordshire Potteries, she started work as just another factory girl, but by 1928 had launched her own range of pottery, 'Bizarre'. A 'gargantuan feast of colour', it blazed a trail through the homes of inter-war Britain. But if Clarice Cliff's rise from apprentice gilder to art director was remarkable - and all the more so for her being a woman - it was not without its tensions; for years she conducted a secret relationship with her married boss. Fusing art, design and industry and vividly conveying the texture of women's lives between the wars, this is a compelling study of the complex, talented woman whose work is for many the epitome of art deco.

Download or read book Art Deco written by Eric Knowles and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although usually associated with the 1920s and the '30s, in fact the Art Deco style had begun to emerge in France prior to the advent of the First World War. But it was during the interwar years that the style, reaching full maturity, was adopted by the international elite as the perfect expression of modern opulence and elegance, and to this day Art Deco designs are redolent of the age of Jazz, cocktails, the Charleston, speakeasies, Hollywood glamour, New York skyscrapers and, above all, style. The '20s was also a period of great technological advances in engineering and transportation, and the perpetual modernity and futuristic aura of Art Deco are evocative of this too. Here, BBC Antiques Roadshow expert Eric Knowles provides a lavishly illustrated guide to this most alluring and timeless of styles.
