The Figure in Fired Clay is a gloriously illustrated study of the human figure as it has appeared on or in ceramics from pre-historic times up
to the present. The human form is one of the earliest to be created in
clay, and it has been used continually by artists through the ages.
Looking at how artists from all over the world have approached the
subject, artist and teacher Betty Blandino provides the historical,
mythological, and methodological background to this subject, tracing
similarities and nuances shared by cultures vastly separated in both
geography and time. Stunningly beautiful drinking vessels and pottery, some
fashioned in the shape of people or animals, some with these figures painted
on their exterior, have enhanced the domestic rituals of all cultures, and
are brilliantly depicted and examined in this volume along with the
experiments of the modern masters - Picasso, Mo Jupp, Eric Mellon, and
others. With 75 full color and 43 black and white photographs, The Figure
in Fired Clay is a stunning addition to the library of ceramic artists or
anyone with an interest in one of the preeminent themes of art history. |
