Ehren Tool on Victor Schreckengost—Connections: Renwick Gallery
Description:
Ehren Tool valgues the act of creation, and describes his hopes that his work will be a catalyst for conversations between those who have experienced war and their loved ones. He considers the immediacy of war and the longevity of his stoneware cups and Victor Schreckengost’s “Apocalypse ’42,” with their dishearteningly similar themes. “Connections: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery” highlights the evolution of the craft field as it transitions into a new phase at the hands of contemporary artists, which in some way echoes the communal spirit and ideology of the pioneers of the American Studio Craft Movement in their heyday. http://renwick.americanart.si.edu/connections
