Lizbeth Stewart emerged as a leading ceramic artist in the 1980s and was among a generation of women who expanded the field through brightly colored representational imagery. This Pig Tureen is exemplary of her work with its exactly rendered form, where the detail and poise are startlingly life-like. The pig form stands in contrast to the surface painting, which appears realistic at first look, but reveals itself as abstract and impressionistic. The beet form ladle similarly fools the eye, with its fragile yet precise stalks.Lizbeth Stewart emerged as a leading ceramic artist in the 1980s and was among a generation of women who expanded the field through brightly colored representational imagery.
