Heavily illustrated, it features a foreword, preface, visual historical timeline, product and dinnerware glaze history, and thirteen chapters contributed by artists and scholars who have conducted research using the Brian and Edith Heath\/Heath Ceramics Collection at the Environmental Design Archives (EDA), UC Berkeley. This publication will serve as a complement to the 2021 exhibition at the Oakland Museum of California, offering substantial and in-depth commentary on the presented themes—the environment, feminism, experimentation, architecture, politics, collaborations—while solidifying the relevance of Edith Heath’s story in contemporary life and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThematically organized, \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eEdith Heath: Philosophies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e emphasizes lesser-known narratives and utilizes rarely seen images. Edith Heath considered her dinnerware to be more than a collection of objects; it was a statement of good design reflecting the post-war American West Coast lifestyle. The book departs from the traditional linear narrative of the company and situates Edith Heath as an influential and under-acknowledged figure in ceramic design history. The text and rich illustrations will appeal to a diverse audience interested in post-WWII design, material culture, and California history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e[publisher's note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berkeley Design Books,Information Office","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57357637419348,"sku":"A8B-29006","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/Num_C3_A9riser_2018_50045d66-fe11-4cc7-b951-907844cbdac2.jpg?v=1790812509","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/edith-heath-philosophies","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
