Description

Lucie Rie: A Life in Modernist Pottery This biography offers a comprehensive and detailed account of Lucie Rie's life and work. Through interviews, letters, and analysis of her elegant vessels, the author sheds new light on this 20th-century potter who combined modernism with technical skill. Rie's story is one of creative output within the broader context of modernism and the emergence of studio pottery in Britain. The book provides fascinating insights into her life and work, reevaluating her artistic legacy through previously unpublished letters and material from the Rie estate. A unique and authoritative study, this biography is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Lucie Rie's place in the history of modernist ceramics.
