Description

“George Ohr, Art Potter: The Apostle of Individuality”

George Ohr (1857-1918) was the most revolutionary art potter of his time. In Biloxi, Mississippi, Ohr transformed wheel-thrown pots into abstract forms fifty years before the Abstract Expressionists took hold. Ohr’s goal was to “make no two pieces alike”. He fulfilled the ideal of the Arts & Crafts movement by doing all of his own work – from digging the clay to firing the kiln. Today, collectors and museums all over the country consider his unique wares as important works of art. This volume contains over 300 unpublished works by Ohr.
