Ceramist Beatrice Wood tells us the story of her unorthodox life and her influence on 20th-century art in this illustrated autobiography.
Rebellious, radical, and romantic, ceramist Beatrice Wood (1893–1998) defied propriety to become a true national, and international, treasure. Here, in her own charming, spirited, and readable style, Beatrice Wood tells us the story of her unorthodox life and her influence on 20th-century art.
This absorbing autobiography includes vintage documents and her own personal photos and sketches of her many famous friends and acquaintances in the art world.
