Book Synopsis The Ceramics Reader by : Kevin Petrie

Download or read book The Ceramics Reader written by Kevin Petrie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ceramics Reader is an impressive editorial collection of essays and text extracts, covering every discipline within ceramics, past and present. Tackling such fundamental questions as "why are ceramics important?", the book also considers the field from a range of perspectives - as a cultural activity or metaphor, as a vehicle for propaganda, within industry and museums, and most recently as part of the 'expanded field' as a fine art medium and hub for ideas. Newly commissioned material features prominently alongside existing scholarship, to ensure an international and truly comprehensive look at ceramics.
