Shaping Ceramics: From Lucie Rie to Edmund de Waal
This glossy full-colour catalogue features information on all artists featured in the Jewish Museum London's exhibition "Shaping Ceramics: From Lucie Rie to Edmund de Waal" alongside essays from art critics and ceramicists, including some of those exhibited in the show.
Jewish ceramicists transformed British studio pottery and influenced successive generations of ceramic artists. In the mid 20th century Jewish émigré ceramicists revolutionised British studio pottery, importing modernist ideas from central Europe and creating work that was sleek, sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Ruth Duckworth and Grete Marks produced simple and imaginative designs that were avant-garde for their time.
Shaping Ceramics explores the work of these pioneering ceramicists and traces their influence on subsequent generations of ceramic artists whose Jewish heritage has shaped their work.
