## Summary

Ceramics: An Atlas of Forms by Glenn Barkley, a global cultural history of ceramic forms published by Thames & Hudson.

## Description

A unique global, cultural history through five thousand years of ceramic forms. What can we learn about the Roman Empire from an amphora made in 200 BCE? 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 Product details   Publisher ‏ : ‎ Thames & Hudson Publication date ‏ : ‎ March 12, 2024 Language ‏ : ‎ English Print length ‏ : ‎ 320 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1760763934 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1760763930 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 3.95 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 8.7 x 1.3 x 11.1 inches
