''Critics have long considered the [Kirkpatrick snake] jugs as propaganda for the temperance movement, but Mohr postulates convincingly that the jugs were parodies and that the brothers were politically progressive. Mohr also argues that the Kirkpatricks' influence on George Ohr's art is significantly greater than previously thought.'' Antique Trader ''A provocative contribution to the understanding of three major figures in the American art pottery movement, Pottery, Politics, Art provides not just new interpretations but new categories for inquiry as well. In engaging, witty, debate-generating prose, Mohr takes studies in the decorative arts to a new level of critical sophistication.'' Nancy Owen, author of Rookwood and the Industry of Art
