Leza McVey
The Ceramic Forms

By Martin Eidelberg

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Leza McVey was one of the best known American ceramists with her original organic forms and monumental scale. Her decision to hand build instead of use the potter’s wheel was a turning point in modern studio pottery.This book explores McVey’s career over four decades, setting her work against the broad panorama of American art and design.
