Claude Conover (American, 1907-1994)
Claude Conover was an American artist who studied painting and sculpture at the Cleveland School of Art. Following graduation, he built a successful career as a commercial designer in the advertising and print industries. Throughout his career, he continued to pursue his passion for sculptured portraits and stone carvings. In the 1950s, he dedicated himself full-time to ceramics. Conover’s monochromatic palette, simple shapes, and Mayan titles invite the viewer to experience the object through a personal lens, a contemporary tabula rasa. The pieces are timeless and appropriate to almost any design idiom.
