Enric Mestre: Ceramic Sculpture

The photography of the sculptural ceramics was beautiful. I have seen photos of this artist work in art magazines and wanted to see and know more about him and his work. Yet internet searches turned up so little about him that I had despaired of ever having anything with some in depth information and presentation. The best I could do was watch a you tube video with dubbed english which showed him in his studio. He does graphics too and a book about his graphics would also get my attention!Artist ceramic sculptors who are inspired by Eduardo Chillida or Ruth Duckworth cannot go wrong with this book. Mr. Mestre's vision is founded in a stark geometry usually finished with extremely subtle glazes and stains. His work could almost serve as models for a brutalist architects presentation. But my guess is that they must weigh several hundred pounds.The Denver Art Museum built in the 1950's by Geo Ponti was finished with ceramic tiles. Other architects who come to mind when looking at these sculptures are Mario Botta and even the Austrian sculptor Fritz Wotruba who designed a small church with massive concrete blocks.Enthusiastically Recommended!
