Abstract (en)

Article prompted by the occasion of an exhibition (1989) of work by ceramists who led the studio pottery movement, organized by the University Art Museum of the University of Minnesota and circulated by the American Federation of Arts under the title American Studio Ceramics 1920-1950. Surveys the emergence and development of the art pottery movement in the United States in the wake of the Depression, from the first Robineau Memorial Exhibition at the Syracuse Museum (now the Everson Museum) in 1932. Emphasizes the roles played by government support, industry, large-scale clay sculpture, immigration, and ceramic education in university art programs.
