Young Eva Zeisel <\/a><\/strong>was driven by two desires: to make beautiful things, and to see the world. Her long and legendary career in ceramics helped her do both. Born in Budapest in 1906, she apprenticed to a guild of potters as a teenager, then worked in Germany and later Russia (where she was imprisoned by Stalin for 16 months) and Vienna. Landing in New York in 1938 with her husband Hans, Zeisel began her second design career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eva Zeisel: Her Life and her Designs – Michele Fricke <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While design is widespread, it has never been popular: it speaks only to an elite. Correspondingly, design is not concerned with the popular idea of beauty. In fact, it looks down on popular taste.
My own definition of beauty includes popular taste\u2026 Beauty is not an elitist\u2019s enjoyment. The sunset\u2019s colors are for all to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>

Eva Zeisel was born in 1906 in Hungary and died in 2011 in the United States. She was an influential figure in 20th<\/sup> century design, especially in the field of ceramics. She worked for more than 75 years and was one of the most important industrial designers in the United States. She not only designed and produced tableware in ceramics, but is also known for her furniture, light fixtures, chess sets, glassware, rugs and wallpaper designs. Her life and work were shaped by her desire to connect the past with the present, never to dismiss old styles and art forms. She called herself a \u201cModernist with a small \u2018m\u2019\u201d[1]<\/a>, because of her separation from the Modern Movement (or \u201cMachine Age\u201d) in interwar Europe, which rejected any kind of decoration and did not look into historic sources for inspiration. She was more inclined to the more modern Second-Generation Arts and Crafts Movement, stressed the mass production of affordable but well designed, good quality wares and innovative production methods. All of her prototypes were finished by hand

Unweit von Weimar richtete der Bildhauer Gerhard Marcks in Dornburg a. d. Saale mit Hilfe des Th\u00fcringer T\u00f6pfermeisters Max Krehan 1920 die Keramikwerkstatt des Staatlichen Bauhauses ein. Hier entstanden ganz im Sinne von Walter Gropius Entw\u00fcrfe f\u00fcr die Industrie in einem seriellen Gie\u00df- und Modulverfahren. Das Keramikdesign des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde ma\u00dfgeblich durch die am Bauhaus entwickelten \u00e4sthetischen wie funktionalen Gef\u00e4\u00dfe gepr\u00e4gt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zahlreiche Keramikk\u00fcnstler, wie beispielsweise Eva Stricker-Zeisel<\/strong>, lie\u00dfen sich von Theodor Bogler, Otto Lindig oder Werner Burri inspirieren. Die gewagten Farbkombinationen der Objekte aus den 1920er Jahren wirken bis heute \u00fcberaus modern und spiegeln die Aufbruchsstimmung einer ganzen Generation nach dem ersten Weltkrieg wider, als alles verloren und gerade deswegen nichts unm\u00f6glich schien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
