  • The Modernist Pottery Of Mary And Edwin Scheier
    September 20, 2011

    Puppets, pots and peregrination made for the remarkable and prodigious careers of Mary Goldsmith Scheier and Edwin O. Scheier, whose blended natural aptitude and high aesthetic sense resulted in some of the most important studio pottery of the American Twentieth Century. Both were largely self-taught ceramicists, and once they began to focus on pottery, the Scheiers and their work were highly sought after. Much of their enormous output was functional, most frequently commissioned. From the very beginning, they depended on local clay they often dug themselves. They drew on a myriad of influences: rural Virginia and Tennessee ceramic traditions, the whimsy of puppets, ancient and native Mexican imagery and the prevailing aesthetic of the nearly entire century in which they lived, all garnered from their peripatetic careers and expressed through their own innate gifts.
