La cerámica española de finales del siglo XIX e inicios del XX dio muestras de un inusitado y heterogéneo número de manifestaciones y propuestas artísticas en sintonía con las transformaciones sociales, ideologicas y culturales del pais, y, mas especialmente, con el proceso de Regeneracionismo de España a traves de sus artes. La labor del ceramista Juan Ruiz de Luna en Talavera de la Reina es un ejemplo modelico de este panorama. El presente libro aborda su estudio en conexion con las aportaciones que desde otros centros ceramicos se estaban produciendo (Segovia, Toledo, Sevilla, Cataluña, Valencia), reflejando la tension tradicionalismo-modernidad que caracterizo este periodo.

For more than 30 years, Dr. Anneliese and Dr. Wulf Crueger - guided by Saeko Ito - have devoted themselves to studying, understanding, and collecting Japanese ceramics. Today, they share their knowledge with this lavishly illustrated volume based on their own collection. The equivalent of "Roberts Museum Guide", devotees of beautiful ceramics can pick it up and use it to select and visit potters as they undertake an artistic tour of the country. Organised geographically, it goes from kiln to kiln - which in Japan may refer to a lone site or an entire ceramics region that contains hundreds of workshops. Along the way, they outline the history, development, and unique stylistic characteristics of each area's work, and the traditions that inspired it.

A magnificent array of handcrafted tiles from around the world covers everything from press-molded pieces to carved works that showcase unique surface treatments, with contributions from such noted artists in the field as Melody Ellis, Peter King and Xinia Marín, and Mary Lynn Buss, among others. Original.

Innovative in concept and design, this big book is aimed at beginners and intermediates who want to learn about the basic ideas, techniques and materials used in drawing by focusing on the following aspects: basics, perspective, line and shading, and chiaroscuro.

The format, similar to an easel or stand, invites the reader to put the contents of the book into practice. This innovate design is not like anything else on the market and adapts itself perfectly to the beginners needs encouraging them to learn the secrets of each of the techniques and then to pick up the brush and paint. Even-numbered pages include step-by-step techniques with images and odd-numbered pages have a single illustration to refer to whilst painting.

No other volume has ever presented such a diverse and captivating collection of contemporary animal-themed ceramics. Juried by distinguished artist and educator Joe Bova, this magnificent gallery includes pieces from an international group of artists; the beautifully crafted works range from the representational to the abstract, from artful realism to provocative surrealism (including animal-human hybrids). Ann Marais' image of a waterfowl painted onto a porcelain dish has a restrained, Asian quality. Sharkus' painted and smoke-fired stoneware turtle could easily be mistaken for the living creature. Bova provides astute and illuminating commentary overall, with selected artists' notes.
