Opis produktu

Those who associate ceramics with functional vessels or charming knickknacks are in for a shock. Clay may start out soft but in the right hands it can deliver a hard blow. From British Toby Jugs to Marcel Duchamps Fountain to a wall of gruesome tiles that forms a portrait of President George W. Bush ceramic art has the power to provoke and subvert./Confrontational Ceramics/ surveys the work of contemporary sculptors potters and mixed media artists who have turned the ancient medium of clay into an articulate vehicle for political and social commentary. Educator and curator Judith S. Schwartz gathers the works of more than two hundred artists from thirty different countries into a glossy fullcolor overview of the radical ceramics scene. Provocative pieces from makers such as Grayson Perry Robert Arneson Richard Notkin Howard Kottler as well as newer talents address personal social and geopolitical injustices from rape to racism. In their own words these bold artists discuss the outrage behind their outrageous works. Schwartz provides historical context for current and late twentiethcentury protest in the form of ceramics. She also places the artists within thematic groupings: war and politics the social and human condition gender issues the environment and popular and material culture./Filled with subtle satire garish jests grotesque shock treatments and moving testaments Confrontational Ceramics/ is a radical departure from conventional coffeetable ceramics books on decorative housewares or formal abstractions. This art book will amuse inspire and possibly offend art historians ceramics collectors and anyone with an eye for the outlandish./Confrontational Ceramics/ is an international survey of contemporary sculptors potters and mixed media artists who have used clay as a medium for political and social commentary. This book features fullcolor photographs of works by makers such as Grayson Perry Robert Arneson Richard Notkin and Howard Kottler./Judith S. Schwartz is Professor in the Department of Art and Art Professions at New York University.
