Description
Throughout the 20th century prominent artists from Picasso to A.R. Penck have experimented with ceramics, and the works they produced have complemented and often expanded upon their styles and techniques in painting and sculpture. This volume presents illustrations and discussion of ceramic works by 23 European artists, all from the extensive collection at the Museum Het Kruithuis in the Netherlands. The artists include Miro, Leger, Chagall, Braque, Dufy and Cocteau, as well as members of the mid-century CoBrA movement, and contemporary figures such as Mimmo Paladino and Bruce McLean. Essays set the ceramics in context, and documentary photographs show the artists at work.
