整体结构:概括AO名声起起伏伏——解释名声衰退的原因
文章段落:
P1 A O 的角色是中心,虽然她的名声在1939年到1989年起起伏伏。
在1950年代达到顶峰,当关于她和陶瓷国家展览的庆祝性报告大量出现。
P2 1989年名声衰退的原因
1989年,美国的陶瓷历史开始“命名作品“,她不是陶瓷家,仅是博物馆的管理员,组织者和推动者;
她概括的管理观点被反对,因为美国陶瓷中心在1972年开始西移。
O 的名声起伏跟美国陶瓷的地位改变紧密相关。1930年的实验性陶瓷行业以及o的管理组织推动了发展
作者态度:肯定ao对美国陶瓷业的贡献

Olmsted" reputation <-> changing prioriteis
Experimental ceramics --> blurring of categories
Olmsted --> ceramics + sculpture --> dissemination
