Reviews
"Flipping through the pages of Masters: Earthenware feels similar to exploring a fine art gallery. The book highlights the achievements of 38 international ceramic artists through galleries of work handpicked by the late ceramist Matthias Ostermann. Although the art is simply amazing, what makes this book special is the chance to step into each artist's mind: don't miss the quotes interspersed throughout the images to touch on the artists' inspirations." -- AmericanStyle "The late Matthias Ostermann, well known for his own work in earthenware, selected 38 international artists working in the low-fire range for inclusion in this book. The presentation of each artist's work includes eight pages of images and a brief text by Glen R. Brown describing the influences, concepts, and techniques he or she employs. Collectively, the selected artists create vessels, functional work, and various types of sculpture. The surfaces range from unglazed to monochromatic glazing and to highly decorated patterns [and] narrative, illusionistic, and even photorealistic imagery. The book showcases the versatility of working in the earthenware range--with some artists interested in the range of colors and surfaces available, while others are interested in the connections to specific historical or regional styles and glazes, and many are interested in the material's associations with the pottery that has been made and used by everyday people for centuries." -- Ceramics Monthly, "Flipping through the pages of Masters: Earthenware feels similar to exploring a fine art gallery.
