Description

THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT
by Elizabeth Cumming and Wendy Kaplan, World of Art, NY, 1991.
Here is a survey of a diverse school of design which promoted “the moral superiority of ‘honest’ design and natural materials in an industrial age.  The Arts and Crafts exerted wide international influence: as well as its better-known proponents, the important followers and practitioners represented here range from M.H. Baillie Scott, C.F.A. Voysey and the Greene brothers to Koloman Moser and Joseph Olbrich.”  Discussion includes the work of William Morris, C.R. Ashbee and Edwin Lutyens in Britain, Frank Lloyd Wright and Gustav Stickley in America, Josef Hoffmann in Austria and Eliel Saarinen in Finland.  This concisely written and well-illustrated book belongs in the reference library of any collector or dealer of Mission Arts & Crafts decorative objects of art.
