Walter Ostrom has been described as an “innovative traditionalist” leading the revival of maiolica—brightly colored and decorated, low-fired tin-glazed earthenware pottery—using local clay. His 2004 Flower Brick with Decoration in the Style of Cafaggiola illustrates how he seamlessly merges art and craft by honoring both tradition and innovation. From Ostrom’s embrace of conceptual art in the 1970s to his current exploration of the social foundations of ceramics, he has been instrumental, through his almost forty-year career, in stressing the role of fine craft within the visual arts.
