Description: Folk Art Potters of Japan by Brian Moeran Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Not only rewrites the history of contemporary Western ceramics but also engages in two important discourses in anthropology today: one concerned with art and aesthetics; the other with Orientalism. Amply illustrated, with a frank description of the operation of Japans art pottery world. Publisher Description This is a study of a group of potters living in a small community in the south of Japan, and about the problems they face in the production, marketing and aesthetic appraisal of a kind of stoneware pottery generally referred to as mingei, or folk art. It shows how different people in an art world bring to bear different sets of values as they negotiate the meaning of mingei and try to decide whether a pot is art, folk art, or mere craft. At the same time, this book is an unusual monograph in that it reaches beyond the mere study of an isolated community to trace the origins and history of folk art in general. By showing how a set of aesthetic ideals originating in Britain was taken to Japan, and thence back to Europe and the United States - as a result of the activities of people like William Morris, Yanagi So etsu, Bernard Leach and Hamada Sho ji - this book not only rewrites the history of contemporary western ceramics, but engages in two important discourses in contemporary anthropology: Author Biography Brian Moeran Details ISBN 0700710396 ISBN-13 9780700710393 Title Folk Art Potters of Japan Author Brian Moeran Format Paperback Year 1997 Pages 276 Edition 1st Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd GE_Item_ID:81836971; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
