An exceptionally thoughtful and well-written biography of one of the most influential studio potters in Britain
Widely recognized as the father of studio pottery, Bernard Leach (1887-1979) played a pioneering role in creating an identity for artist potters in Britain and around the world. Born in the East (Hong Kong) and educated in the West (England), throughout his life Leach perceived himself as a courier between the disparate cultures. His exquisite pots reflect the inspiration he drew from East and West as well as his response to the basic tenets of modernism--truth to materials, the importance of function to form, and simplicity of decoration. This outstanding biography provides for the first time a vivid and detailed account of Leach's life and its relation to his art.Emmanuel Cooper was a distinguished potter, writer, and visiting professor in the ceramics and glass program at the Royal College of Art in London.
