Figurative ceramics is one of the most exciting and innovative areas of art today. Though ceramics has been unfashionable in the past, the last twenty-five years have seen a worldwide resurgence of interest in this art form among artists, galleries, and the public. In this book, Michael Flynn looks back at the last twenty-five years and selects over one hundred of the most important artists working with ceramic figures. He also includes artists from earlier in the twentieth century whose work has had an influence on the subject. The work ranges from porcelain to raku and from the small to the monumental. Ceramic Figures is arranged alphabetically by last name, giving a thumbnail sketch of the artist and showing a variety of the artist's work.
