Collectible Description

Art of War: World War II Propaganda . “A Arte da Guerra – Propaganda da II Guerra Mundial”. The exhibition (Dec 18, 2010 - Sep 30, 2011) showcased propaganda produced during the world conflict, through examples that show that the war was fought not only in the battlefield, but also in the background, as the people of the involved nations were mobilised in an active support of the war effort by the powerful images in the posters. The printed poster was the main form of propaganda, especially since it was easy to produce and could be glued almost anywhere, so that the message was always present among the citizens, asking them to give more of themselves, produce more and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the war effort. The posters were also the most democratic way of reaching equally all kinds of people. In the United States alone, more than 3000 different posters were produced. The temporary exhibition showed propaganda under the light of an art form, which it has assumed, carrying the purpose of any other work of art: to raise emotions and change the world.

Artist Biography

Mark Alan Hewitt: Sculpting Giants from Clay

Mark Alan Hewitt (born March 31, 1953) is an American architect, preservationist and architectural historian, known for his work on architectural history and the history of architectural drawing “as a medium of thought.” However, he’s equally recognized as one of Britain's foremost studio potters, whose monumental wood-fired ceramic vessels—often dubbed ‘monster pots’—have captivated collectors and critics alike. Hewitt’s artistic journey began with an unexpected detour from architectural studies at Yale University, where a formative encounter with Vincent Scully ignited his passion for visual storytelling and profoundly shaped his approach to artmaking.
  • Early Influences: Hewitt's formative years were marked by exposure to Bernard Leach’s pioneering stoneware tradition in Cornwall, England—a connection that instilled in him a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, simplicity, and the dialogue between material and form. This influence is palpable in his work, mirroring Leach’s emphasis on tactile experience and honoring the inherent qualities of clay.
  • Formal Training: Continuing his architectural pursuits at Pennyslvania University, Hewitt honed his technical skills under luminaries like Allan Greenberg, Robert A.M. Stern, David Van Zanten, and Steven Izenour—a grounding in classical design principles that subtly informs his sculptural explorations.
Hewitt’s artistic vision crystallized during his relocation to Pittsboro, North Carolina, where he embraced the challenges of working with alkaline glazes and experimenting with techniques inspired by Asian and North Carolina pottery traditions. He deliberately sought out environments conducive to innovation, mirroring Leach's own dedication to pushing boundaries within ceramic art. This move dramatically impacted his aesthetic sensibilities, resulting in vessels characterized by striking color contrasts and a deliberate rejection of ornamentation—a conscious decision to prioritize the essence of the material itself.
  • Signature Style: Hewitt’s signature style is defined by colossal salt-glazed ceramic pots – pieces that stand as testaments to his mastery of wood firing, a technique rooted in centuries of tradition. These vessels are not merely functional objects; they are sculptural statements imbued with symbolic resonance, reflecting Hewitt's fascination with the interplay between Eastern and Western artistic philosophies.
  • Recognition & Legacy: His work has garnered considerable acclaim, securing its place within prestigious collections at institutions like Yale University LUX and the North Carolina Museum of Art. Furthermore, he served as co-curator of ‘The Potter’s Eye,’ exploring the enduring influence of Leach's legacy on contemporary ceramic practice.
Hewitt’s dedication extends beyond artistic creation; he actively championed the preservation of North Carolina pottery heritage through his role as president of the North Carolina Pottery Center and contributed to scholarly publications like ‘Great Pots from the Traditions of North & South Carolina,’ solidifying his position as a pivotal figure in shaping the narrative of American ceramics. His enduring commitment to fostering dialogue between artistic disciplines—architecture and pottery—demonstrates a profound understanding of how creative pursuits can enrich our perception of the world around us.
