| A professional artist since 1970 Clint Swink turned his talents
to ceramic replication in 1987 and extensively researched the art and production
of Anasazi pottery. His pioneering efforts lead in large part to the rediscovery
of lost Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan) ceramics art forms such as Mesa Verde
Black-on-white of which he is now considered to be the only living master.
His legendary dedication to archaeological accuracy has created a new school
of art, an aesthetically pleasing alternative to artifacts, global archaeological
recognition of the value of authentic ceramic replication, and "...his
labors have kindled a new appreciation for those who left behind the beauty
of their art..." (National Geographic, 4/96). |
