About the Item
Claude Conover (American, 1907-1994)
Cat, c. 1970
Glazed stoneware
Signed to underside
14.5 x 4.5 x 6.75 inches
Claude Conover worked for 30 years as a commercial designer before turning to ceramics. By the 1960s he was devoting himself full time to his pots.
He exhibited in 14 May Shows at the Cleveland Museum of Art; all told his work was shown in 47 exhibitions at museums and arts centers around the country, some traveling internationally. Many regional patrons have made these hand-built stoneware pots -most off-white-some rough, some smooth, part of their home environment.
Conover is considered a member of the Cleveland School; a term first coined by Elrick Davis in a 1928 article for the Cleveland Press, titled "Cleveland's Art Pioneers Have Put City in Front Rank in Creative Field."
He was the recipient of the Cleveland Arts Prize in 1983.
