This... infinitely rewarding book is an account of his pilgrimage through life.' \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120354705648,"sku":"9780571296132","price":16.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571296132_p0.jpg?v=1763719879","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571296132","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
