About the book >.>.> Lucie Rie, born in Vienna in 1902, is recognised as one of the most distinguished ceramic artists in the world. With a career spanning over sixty years, her distinctive and beautifully crafted pottery has received admiration globally, from Japan to America. Rie's journey as a potter began with her student work displayed at the Palais Stoclet in Brussels in 1923, and she has since made London her home since 1938. Her works have been featured in various prestigious exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Arts Council in 1967, the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in 1981, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1982, alongside a notable BBC film narrated by David Attenborough.Even at the age of eighty-five, Rie continues to create pottery, attracting significant interest from collectors who value her unique artistic qualities. This book offers a comprehensive narrative of her life, detailing her influential friendships with renowned figures such as Bernard Leach and Hans Coper. It also showcases a diverse array of her work, encompassing everything from elegant tableware to commissioned pieces. Accompanying the text are numerous photographs, including sixty-five in colour, specifically captured by Jane Coper, enhancing the visual appreciation of Rie's exceptional artistry. This publication serves not only as a biography but also as a celebration of a significant figure in the world of ceramics. (MP). N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM744-VG-14926

Hardcover. Chocolate brown cloth/boards; yellow script lettering. Color-photographic dj with black lettering. 224 pp. full of color plates and bw photos. Tony Birks' much praised biography was written with the full cooperation of the potter, whose friendship with the author spanned more than a quarter of a century It stands as the only complete account of the life and work of this extraordinary figure in European ceramics Lucie Rie made her first pots in 1923, her last in 1990. Born Lucie Gomperz in Vienna in 1902, she came to England in 1938 to escape the Nazis. Her artistic achievement closely related to the encouragement and personal inspiration provided by a series of men. As Lucie herself said, "I am man-made". Simple, yet infinitely subtle and complex, Lucie Rie pots approach excellence not by refinement to an ever purer shape: it is by their sturdiness and their frailty: a combination of opposites, economy and luxuriance, lightness and dark. As a person, she showed the same combination of opposites. Her diminutive size belied her determination, her capacity for work. She received many honours, an OBE in 1968, a CBE in 1981, and was made a Dame in 1991. She was much written about, and was the subject of a BBC film. Lucie Rie died in 1995.
