Warren MacKenzie: Legacy of an American Potter

  • Mac-hand-small_large

Trading in glitz and gloss for elegant understatement, American pottery master Warren MacKenzie has spent half a century crafting simple, eminently usable vessels that have set the national standard for practical ceramic art. This MOCFA retrospective traces his development through a variety of wheel-thrown styles, specifically concentrating on his life-long association with the Mingei aesthetic — a Japanese folk-art style from the 1920s whose utilitarian focus the potter embraced and reworked while developing the nascent studio-pottery movement of the early 1950s.
