Waylande Gregory: Art Deco Ceramics and the Atomic Impulse

Click here to view the online exhibition

Waylande Gregory (1905-1971), a native of Baxter Springs, Kansas, was one of the most innovative and prolific Art Deco ceramic sculptors of the early 20th century. His groundbreaking techniques enabled him to create monumental ceramic sculptures that had not previously been possible, including his Fountain of the Atom for the 1939 New York World’s Fair—a tribute to atomic energy that earned the attention of Albert Einstein. Gregory also developed revolutionary glazing and processing methods and was an important figure in the studio glass movement.

Art Deco sculptor Waylande Gregory created numerous monumental ceramic works, including his “Fountain of the Atom” for the 1939 New York World’s Fair—a tribute to atomic energy that earned the attention of Albert Einstein. In this talk, Rydell, an expert on 1930s world’s fairs, will situate Gregory’s projects for the event in the broader vision of the New York fair’s overall theme, “The World of Tomorrow.”

This program is part of the Art in Motion program series, and in conjunction with the virtual exhibition Waylande Gregory: Art Deco Ceramics and the Atomic Impulse.
