- First book to chronicle the life and artwork of June Schwarcz, a
pioneer craftsperson in the enamel and decorative arts fieldJune
Schwarcz (1918-2015) was among the most innovative artists working
in the contemporary enamels field. Best known for her electroplated
metal sculpture embellished with rich enamel color, she produced an
extensive body of work that, while linked to long-standing
vessel-making traditions, defied convention. In a field known for
visual opulence, preciousness, and adherence to traditional craft
practices, Schwarcz was a renegade. She learned enameling on her
own and adopted a highly experimental approach to process,
inventing new ways of creating sculptural objects in metal and
unorthodox strategies for their embellishment. Believing in the
power of opposing principles, she created forms that were at once
raw and elemental, elegantly composed, and lushly beautiful. A
seminal figure in the American craft field, Schwarcz led enameling
workshops across the country and influenced several generations of
young and emerging artists. She also played a central role in the
craft community of the San Francisco Bay Area, where she lived and
worked for more than fifty years. June Schwarcz: Artist in Glass
and Metal is the first publication to investigate Schwarcz's work
in depth. It explores the rich trajectory of her career along with
the sources and influences that helped shape and define her
singular vision. It also investigates the themes and subjects that
intrigued her as it examines the role she played in advancing
enameling in America in the late twentieth century. This lavishly
illustrated publication celebrates the extraordinary body of work
Schwarcz created over a period of sixty years.
