About the Book

This newest entry in the popular "Masters" series presents 38 of the world's most notable potters and sculptors - and dozens of vibrant, functional, sculptural and figurative pieces of earthenware to explore. "Masters: Earthenware" reveals the tremendous imagination, innovation and technical facility that today's artists bring to the oldest ceramic medium. This stunning volume gives each featured artist a mini-retrospective of approximately eight pages that showcase 12-14 of his or her best works, illuminating comments from the creators accompany the images, and outlining their development and artistic philosophy.

About the Author :
Curator Matthias Ostermann has lectured, taught and exhibited worldwide. He is an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics in Geneva, Switzerland.

Review :
"Flipping through the pages of "Masters: Earthenware" feels similar to exploring a fine art gallery. The book highlights the achievements of 38 international ceramic artists through galleries of work handpicked by the late ceramist Matthias Ostermann. Although the art is simply amazing, what makes this book special is the chance to step into each artist's mind: don't miss the quotes interspersed throughout the images to touch on the artists' inspirations." -- AmericanStyle "The late Matthias Ostermann, well known for his own work in earthenware, selected 38 international artists working in the low-fire range for inclusion in this book. The presentation of each artist's work includes eight pages of images and a brief text by Glen R. Brown describing the influences, concepts, and techniques he or she employs. Collectively, the selected artists create vessels, functional work, and various types of sculpture. The surfaces range from unglazed to monochromatic glazing and to highly decorated patterns [and] narrative, illusionistic, and even photorealistic imagery. The book showcases the versatility of working in the earthenware range--with some artists interested in the range of colors and surfaces available, while others are interested in the connections to specific historical or regional styles and glazes, and many are interested in the material's associations with the pottery that has been made and used by everyday people for centuries." -- Ceramics Monthly
