Pottery, Politics, Art: George Ohr and the Brothers Kirkpatrick

Rating:
Summary: For mature pottery connoisseurs
Review: Pottery, Politics, Art: George Ohr And The Brothers Kirkpatrick by Richard D. Mohr (Professor of Philosophy, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) scrutinizes the works of three of America's most fervent nineteenth century potters. Black-and-white and full color photographs of the sensual, masterfully wrought works add a visual complement to the thoughtful studies of these classic art pieces, responding to the message of the creators' selves within the pieces. A work of superbly presented scholarship, Pottery, Politics, Art is very highly recommended for mature pottery connoisseurs and academic "Art History" collections.
