An exceptionally thoughtful and well-written biography of one of
the most influential studio potters in Britain Widely recognized as
the father of studio pottery, Bernard Leach (1887-1979) played a
pioneering role in creating an identity for artist potters in
Britain and around the world. Born in the East (Hong Kong) and
educated in the West (England), throughout his life Leach perceived
himself as a courier between the disparate cultures. His exquisite
pots reflect the inspiration he drew from East and West as well as
his response to the basic tenets of modernism-truth to materials,
the importance of function to form, and simplicity of decoration.
This outstanding biography provides for the first time a vivid and
detailed account of Leach's life and its relation to his art.
Emmanuel Cooper, himself a potter of international reputation,
explores Leach's working methods, the seams of his pottery, his
writings and philosophy, his recognition in Japan and Britain, and
his continuing legacy, bringing into sharp focus a complex man who
captured in his work as a potter the "still center" that always
eluded him in his tumultuous personal life. Distributed for the
Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
