The Most Popular Book in my Classroom,
This review is from: Confrontational Ceramics (Hardcover)
Students in my drawing, painting, and ceramics classes voted Confrontational Ceramics their favorite book. It's an essential books to have in the classroom. My students love to discuss the provocative and strangely beautiful photographs. It's amazing how this book expands their notions about art in general and ceramics in particular. I love the easy to understand text and get lots of great ideas for projects. I highly recommend it.

Eye-opening,

This review is from: Confrontational Ceramics (Hardcover)
We always knew writing, painting, drawing, and photography were powerful agents of social comment---but ceramics? Well, yes ... and the use of ceramic art as a means of provocative social and political comment goes back a lot farther than most people might think. Judith Schwartz has assembled an astonishing array of challenging, moving, and forceful pieces of ceramic art, intelligently arranged and superbly photographed. Paging through this book will change the way you look at ceramics specifically and art in general. A powerful and eye-opening collection, worth the attention of anyone who claims to care about art.

Confrontational Ceramics: The Artist as Social Critic [CONFRONTATIONAL CERAMICS] [Hardcover]
Book looks at how ceramic artist are using the media to make provocative commentaries about the inequities of the human condition. Confrontational Ceramics is not for the closed minded.

Great Ceramic Book!!,

This review is from: Confrontational Ceramics (Hardcover)
Finally a book that takes ceramic sculpture seriously. The art world has put this kind of ART on the back burner too long and this book helps to bring it to the forefront. Thank you for writing it. Also, see her website at http://www.judyschwartz.com

Stunning and informative book,
This review is from: Confrontational Ceramics (Hardcover)
Who would have thought there are so socio-political artists working in ceramics? Judy Schwartz has created a stunning and informative book. In the West, ceramics has long been pigeonholed as craft, and not a serious art form. This book goes a long ways in educating the viewer on the potential of clay. It is an honor to be included in Confrontational Ceramics.
