This... infinitely rewarding book is an account of his pilgrimage through life.'' \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBernard Leach (1887-1979) was as renowned in Japan and the East as in Europe and America, both as an artist-craftsman and as a thinker. His interpretation of the traditions of the Orient in the making of pots - and in evolving a philosophy of life - was a lodestar for many potters in the West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond East and West\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1978, is more than an autobiography. Full of sharply-etched and amusing recollections, it contains much of Leach''s deeper thought and a great deal too about the practical application of his ideas. Its recurrent theme is the meeting of East and West at all levels - artistic, cultural, social, political.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57367610327422,"sku":"NW9780571296125","price":13.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780571296125.jpg?v=1778529997","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/beyond-east-and-west","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
