FIRST EDITION. "Michael Rowe (b.1948) is regarded as one of the most significant figures in the development of contemporary applied art in Britain. His particular focus has been container and vessel forms, treated not only as geometrical structures but also as carriers of meaning. creative tension between geometry and poetry, between systematic visual enquiry and the joy in the working of metal are brought together in objects of a pure and compelling beauty. His investigations into the colouring and patination of metals have led him to create designs in which colour and texture are as defining as their form. publication offers a survey of his work, and should be of interest not only to academics, collectors and practitioners in the fields of silversmithing and metalwork, but to all those concerned with the development of the visual arts. (the publisher).
