A Force of Nature - The Ceramic Art of Randy Johnston

Informationen zum Autor Andrew L. Maske has authored numerous articles on Asian art, culture, and ceramics, and was a major contributor to the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition catalogue Turning Point: Oribe and the Arts of Sixteenth Century Japan. Maske is also the author of Potters and Patrons in Edo Period Japan: Takatori Ware and the Kuroda Domain, the culmination of nearly a quarter century of research on a Japanese tea ceramic type begun by Korean potters brought to Japan in 1598. Klappentext Randy Johnston is a renowned contemporary American potter trained in the American Midwest and under Shimaoka Tatsuzo in Mashiko, Japan. He is a working potter who maintains fidelity to the tradition and philosophy that initially turned him to ceramics: mingei. His vessels, fired in Japanese-style wood-burning kilns, are imbued with the mingei ideal: handcrafted, functional and representative of the Wisconsin setting where he lives and works.
