Beyond East and West: Memoirs, Portraits and Essays (Leach Bernard)(Pevná vazba) - diskuze

Bernard Leach was as renowned in Japan and the East as in Europe and America as an artist-craftsman and as a thinker. Known in the ceramic world as the "Father of British studio pottery," his interpretation of Asian traditions in ceramics and his unique philosophy of life were a lodestar for many potters in the West. Throughout his career, his techniques explored the interplay between Eastern and Western art. Beyond East and West, first published in 1978, is a retrospective of more than ninety years of Bernard Leach's long, illustrious life. Featuring some of Leach's most significant writings and full of amusing, sharply-etched recollections, the essays have been placed in chronological order and annotated by the author for more coherence.
