HARRY DAVIS 1910 - 1986

"The vital aspects of art are dependent on satisfactory value scales in relation
to living and the world around us. A society almost totally dominated by mone-
tary values--commercial values--is at an extreme disadvantage when it tries to
accommodate other values in its thinking. It doesn't try, of course; individuals
in it try but all they can do is to modify their personal behaviour in relation
to their values. (ne looks to education for signs of hope, but it is committed
to training young people to man the social order as it exists; and although it
pays lip-service to the idea that things should be done for the right reasons,
only its rebels seem in fact to succeed in this respect. The truly simple and
adequate reasons for making pots disappear from view wien any gimmick is worth

a try as an indication of originality and any publicity is worth chasing as a
means to fame. To do something in order to appear to be original, to adopt
mannerisms and play the eccentric in order to appear to be an artist; to pursue
fame as a conscious objective are all symptoms of sickness ard examples of
actions taken for the wrong reasons. In saying that potters should have the
courage to be potters, one is mere Ly saying that they should have the courage

to do things for the right reasons."
