500 Figures In Clay

Ceramic Artists Celebrate The Human Form It and 39;s an absolutely unequaled photographic gallery no other book has ever presented such a varied, captivating collection of contemporary ceramics based on the human form. The works range from representational to abstract, from artful realism to provocative surrealism, and many of them come from leaders in the field such as Judy Fox, Kurt Weiser, and Andy Nasisse. Kay Yourist has produced female forms that are smooth, minimalist vessels with only the slightest hint of breasts and belly. The simple, rounded features of Diane Lublinski and 39;s black-and-white figures possess a fun, clown-like whimsy. Michael A. Prathers mournful ceramic portraits have frowning faces and pointed dunce-like heads in a muted color palette. Many of the ceramics come with detail images and illuminating artists commentary.
