Issued in conjunction with an exhibition featuring the work of English-born ceramicist Frederick Hurten Rhead (1880-1942). "There are few artists whose careers were so varied, and so completely involved in all aspects of American ceramic art as Frederick Hurten Rhead. Like those of his contemporaries whose work reflects lifelong creative growth and development, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Rhead's stylistic development spans from the pioneering, anti-industrial modernism of the Arts and Crafts movement to the sleek machine-aesthetic of mid-century. His influence, expressed through his profuse writings and prolific design accomplishments, was felt not only by his colleagues, but by the general public." (preface) Chapters address the chronology: Vance/Avon Faience, 1902-1903 ; S. A. Weller, 1904 ; Roseville, 1904-1908 ; Jervis Pottery, 1908-1909 ; University City, 1909-1911 ; Arequipa, 1911-1913 ; Steiger Pottery, 1913 ; Rhead Pottery, 1914-1917 ; American Encaustic Tiling Company, 1917-1927 ; and Homer Laughlin China Company, 1927-1942. Includes color plates and a bibliography of publications written by Rhead.
