DESCRIPTION:
Prather’s mournful ceramic portraits have frowning faces and pointed dunce-like heads in a muted color palette. It’s an absolutely unequalled 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. Michael A. Many of the ceramics come with detail images and illuminating artist’s commentary.. The simple, rounded feature
Fantastic figures in clay J.Jay Volume 1 of 500 figures in clay is a fascinating illustration of many sculptors' works. The works are inventive, creative, and point of view. Many are glazed in color while others are more subtly finished. It is a wondrous book and can't help but pull the reader into variety of manifestations of the human figure.. Love it. HoneyBeeHippie Lots of very inspiring clay figures. A great resource for any studio or ceramics classroom. It would also make a great coffee table book and gift for any art enthusiast. This book is basically all pictures, with artist names, titles and limited technical info. Definitely not a how-to book, but there are plenty of those out there to guide you in making similar figures. Some reviews made comments about many of the figures being creepy, but I think that's because any distortion of the human figure often invokes an emotional response from a viewer, and many shown in the book are abstract, surreal and expressive rather than traditional and . Another unique compilation Another unique compilation by the folks at Lark Books. They excel at bringing together some of the best examples of contemporary work in each subject or medium. Wonderful resources for the classroom or collectors.
