Biography with 29 Colour and 45 Black and White Photographs.
Clarice Cliff was one of the most prominent ceramics designers of the twentieth century. Her work - a 'Gargantuan Feast of Colour' - is avidly collected and is for many the epitome of Art Deco.
In her insightful biography of this talented designer, Lynn Knight also draws a vivid portrait of Britain between the wars, and in particular of the lives of women. Fusing art, design and industry with social history, this is an engrossing study of an Art Deco icon whose work continues to arouse strong and conflicting passions.
