Celebrated ceramists such as George E. Ohr, Hugh C. Robertson, and M. Louise McLaughlin, and prize-winning potteries, including Grueby and Rookwood, harnessed the potential of the medium to create an astonishing range of dynamic forms and experimental glazes. Spanning the period from the 1870s to the 1950s, this volume chronicles the history of American art pottery through more than three hundred works in the outstanding collection of Robert A. Ellison Jr. In a series of fascinating chapters, the authors place these works in the context of turn-of-the-century commerce, design, and social history. Driven to innovate and at times fiercely competitive, some ceramists strove to discover and patent new styles and aesthetics, while others pursued more utopian aims, establishing artist communities that promoted education and handwork as therapy. Written by a team of esteemed scholars and copiously illustrated with sumptuous images, this book imparts a full understanding of American art pottery while celebrating the legacy of a visionary collector.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIronically, it was the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century that made the concept of art pottery possible. For the most part, this body of work was produced in reaction to industry's domination of production techniques, taste, and design. The various labels of "Art Pottery," "Art Furniture," "Art Metal," etc., have their origin in mid-nineteenth century England, where Summerly's Art Manufactures, an early experiment in enlisting artists to design for industry, was perhaps the first to use the "art" prefix. But even more important was John Ruskin, who condemned artistic objects made by machines as "worthless." He was repelled by the precision and repetition of industrial production. For him, beauty lay in the variations created by the hand of an artist or craftsman. -- Introduction.
