According to Marilyn Stokstad, the art historian:
"Expressionism (is) the manipulation of formal or representational elements to convey intense feelings."
Edward Marshall Boehm explained his choice of porcelain as the medium for his art as follows:
"Porcelain is a permanent creation. If properly processed and fired, its colors will never change; and it can be subjected to extreme temperatures without damage. It is a medium in which one can portray the everlasting beauty of form and color of wildlife and nature."
Frank J. Cosentino commented on the art of Edward Marshall Boehm:
"Its grandeur is in its perfection. It is a disciplined art, mastering the demands of the ancient and distinguished craft of porcelain making."
Edward Marshall Boehm was a pioneer American figurative expressionist porcelain sculptor. He created porcelain sculptures between 1950 until his death in 1969 in Trenton, New Jersey. During his lifetime the introduction and closing dates of his limited edition sculptures were well documented.
After the death of his wife Helen who functioned as his manager the Studio has changed ownership several times. Today the name Boehm is being used to create porcelain by The Boehm Porcelain Company of Trenton, NJ. It reopened August 15, 2016. It is using the name "Boehm" along with a modified hallmark of Edward Marshall Boehm.
