Average Customer Ratings:
It’s an absolutely unequalled photographic gallery: no other book has ever presented such a varied, captivating collection of contemporary ceramics based on the human form. The works range from representational to abstract, from artful realism to provocative surrealism, and many of them come from leaders in the field such as Judy Fox, Kurt Weiser, and Andy Nasisse. Kay Yourist has produced female forms that are smooth, minimalist vessels with only the slightest hint of breasts and belly. The simple, rounded features of Diane Lublinski’s black-and-white figures possess a fun, clown-like whimsy. Michael A. Prather’s mournful ceramic portraits have frowning faces and pointed dunce-like heads in a muted color palette. Many of the ceramics come with detail images and illuminating artist’s commentary.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
imagination soars -
This is one of the Lark Books on ceramics that I will return to over and over. The book covers such a wide range of possibilities. The selections are fresh and evocative. The photography is artful. I guess, since I am a human being, one of my favorite subjects is the human body. I am endlessly fascinated with how expressive and analytic these figure studies are.

Love this series! -
I love this series from Lark! It provides me with lots of inspiration and it is a wonderful tool to learn new artists and their work. I have almost the whole series!
Fantastic! -
I've been wanting to get into ceramics for a while and this book was just the thing to get my creative juices flowing. It has many (500 actually) beautiful pieces to admire, with such a wide selection of styles. I love that it has a both beautiful and grotesque figures revealing so many artistic view points. It's definitely not a "how to" book, with just enough info to get a basic idea of how each piece was created but the beautiful photographs and wide variety of sculptures makes it well worth purchasing.
500 figures in clay -
without being able to review the illustrations in the book, I was unable to make good use of the models for my beginning sculpting projects. The cover picture seemed somewhat simple, but the many complex figures contained in the book were too difficult to be models for my limited ability.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Inspiration -
I am thrilled to own this book. I review it regularly for inspiration and ideas for glazes and forms.
