How can a simple, unadorned cup made in 1945 tell us so much about history? And what will an artwork comprising a vast collection of clay spheres tell our descendants about the act of making?Once fired, clay has the strength to last for millennia. Practical uses aside, ceramic objects are a testament to the power and innovation of ancient and ongoing cultural traditions. A single piece can tell an invaluable story about its time, the people who made it, how it was collected, or its role within a broader cultural network.Ceramics: An Atlas of Forms is a global cultural study told through the lens of ceramics. Organized chronologically-from an Egyptian ceremonial jar made over five thousand years ago to works by twentieth-century luminaries Lucie Rie and Bernard Leach, contemporary artists and entirely unknown makers-this collection weaves a tale of rich cultural stories through the diverse history of ceramics, honoring the artists who have left their mark on this timeless practice. 220 color illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51975656636704,"sku":"NEW1760763934","price":60.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ceramics-an-atlas-of-forms-1760763934","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
