Walter Ostrom has been described as an "innovative traditionalist,"
a disruptive force shaking up ceramic conventions while
simultaneously enriching them. Hired to teach studio and Asian art
history at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1969, Ostrom
was one of many American artists who moved north to Canada in the
fallout from the Vietnam War. Ostrom's work, from his embrace of
conceptual art in the 1970s to his current exploration of the vast
history, hybridization, and social foundation of ceramics, marks
him as a major force in the development of contemporary ceramics.
As Ray Cronin writes, Ostrom's works "declare themselves to be art
and craft at once, tradition and innovation merged, beauty and
function reconciled, thought and action combined. What more could
one ask from any work of art?"Accompanying a major retrospective
exhibition at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia opening in May 2020,
Good Earth features essays by leading scholars and curators along
with full-colour reproductions of over fifty examples of Ostrom's
works.
