The Playful Search for Beauty: Eva Zeisel

Posted: April 21st, 2009 | Author: John | Filed under: Beautiful Images | Tags: , , | No Comments »

Eva Zeisel has had a 75-year career of playful creation.  How can we maintain a “parzivalian” freshness and playful perspective throughout a long life?

“Innovation is not the aim of my work.”   This quote at the beginning seems most revealing.  Creating beauty taps into something timeless.  But I don’t want to wax philosophical on the transcendant quality of beauty.  Enjoy listening to her colorful and truly beautiful life.

Among many honors, in 1946, Eva Zeisel had the first one-woman show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
