Murphy For about five years during the late 1930s, the combination of inventive and artistic talent pro- vided by Walter D. Ford (1906-1988) and Paul V. Bogatay (1905-1972), gave life to Ford Ceramic Arts, Inc., a small and little-known Columbus, Ohio, firm specializing in ceramic art and design. The venture, at least in the beginning, was intimately associated with Ohio State University (OSU), from which Ford graduated in 1930 with a degree in Ceramic Engineering, and where Bogatay began his tenure as an instructor of design in 1934. In fact, the first plant, begun in 1936, was actually located on the OSU campus, at 319 West Tenth Avenue, now the site of Ohio State University’s School of Nursing. There two periodic kilns produced “decorated pottery and dinnerware, molded porcelain cameos, and advertising specialties.” Ford was president and ceramic engineer; Norman M. Sullivan, secretary, treasurer, and purchasing agent; Bogatay, art director. Subsequently, the company moved to 4591 North High Street, and Ford's brother, Byron E., became vice-president. Walter, or “Flivver” Ford, as he had been known since high school, was interested primarily in the engineering aspects of the venture, and it was several of his processes for producing photographic images in relief or intaglio on ceramics that distinguished the products of the company.

  • ART NOUVEAU from the CHRYSLER MUSEUM of ART
    THE TRIUMPH OFNATURE ART NOUVEAU from the CHRYSLER MUSEUM OF ART TRAVELING EXHIBITION SERVICE THE TRIUMPH OFNATURE ART NOUVEAU from the CHRYSLER MUSEUM OF ART he florid, languorous curves, natural motifs, and refined elegance of Art Nouveau furniture, glass, and other works have entranced generations of collectors and museumgoers T since the apex of this brief but intense movement around the turn of the twentieth century. Known in Europe as Jugendstil (in Germany) and Stile Liberty (Italy), Art Nouveau has, until recently, been critically undervalued by the art establishment—due largely to its association with the decorative arts and the Decadent movement, as well as bias against its “feminine” qualities by critics of the time. An exuberant, radical style, Art Nouveau blithely trampled many of the Victorian Age’s orthodoxies of art and design, exploding age-old strictures with its fanciful approach to furniture, graphic arts, jewelry, architecture and more, while also embracing new technologies and incorporating foreign (e.g., Japanese) stylistic flourishes. It was also unabashedly luxurious and sensual. The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art brings together approximately 140 of the finest Art Nouveau treasures from the uncommonly rich holdings of the Chrysler Museum of Art, drawing primarily from the gifts of Walter P. and Jean Chrysler, whose homes were once the showrooms for these opulent treasures. 1.

Chrysler, Jr. 2 THE TRIUMPH OF NATURE 1 ART NOUVEAU FROM THE CHRYSLER MUSEUM OF ART 3 Designing for a range of clients and settings including domestic interiors, innovative artists such as de Feure, Majorelle, and Gallé fashioned their eclectic works to play off each other in harmonious visual arrangements, conceiving of Art Nouveau as an enveloping style.

  • Ceremic Arts
    CEREMIC ARTS 1. INTRODUCTION: Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms including art ware, tile, figurines, sculpture, and tableware. Ceramic art is one of the arts, particularly the visual arts. Of these, it is one of the plastic arts. While some ceramics are considered fine art, some are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art objects. Ceramics may also be considered artifacts in archaeology. Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design, manufacture and decorate the art ware. Products from a pottery are sometimes referred to as "art pottery". [1] In a one-person pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat. It excludes glass and mosaic made from glass tesserae. There is a long history of ceramic art in almost all developed cultures, and often ceramic objects are all the artistic evidence left from vanished cultures. Elements of ceramic art, upon which different degrees of emphasis have been placed at different times, are the shape of the object, its decoration by painting, carving and other methods, and the glazing found on most ceramics. 2. PRODUCT & ITS APPLICATION: Ceramic arts have very ancient history and developed all over the world.
