Throughout the twentieth century, leading artists, from Pablo Picasso to A.R. Penck, experimented with ceramics. The works they produced complemented – and often extended – their styles and techniques in painting and sculpture, but they have rarely been studied by art historians. Here, for the first time, ceramic works by 23 European artists are presented, all drawn from the extensive collection of artists' ceramics at Museum Het Kruithuis in the Netherlands – the only collection of its kind in the world.

Ceramics by, among others, Miró, Léger, Chagall, Braque, Dufy and Cocteau are beautifully depicted and discussed, as well as works by Karel Appel, Asger Jorn and other members of the CoBrA movement from the mid-century, and by contemporary artists such as Mimmo Paladino and Bruce McLean. Essays place the ceramics in the proper context and documentary photos show the artists at work.
