For
as long as there has been art, the human form has been its centerpiece.
And for nearly as long, ceramics have been among the most powerful
mediums through which artists have expressed their creativity. This
book presents some of the best figurative studies created by more
than 250 contemporary ceramists from around the world.
These remarkable
designs, selected from thousands, span a multitude of artistic styles,
from realistic to abstract, representational to surreal, and starkly
minimalist to flamboyantly narrative. Many of the images are accompanied
by the artist's commentary on why and how the piece was created.
