A Tile & Ceramics Career with Georg Jensen Inc. and Ossip Zadkine in 1940s Manhattan
The Art of Carol Janeway portrays the exotic life and artistic career of a woman whose commercial success as a tile decorator and ceramist in New York in the 1940s and later retirement due to lead poisoning offer a fascinating study.
