Description

The Arts and Crafts movementflowered in the 1870s and 80s as areaction to the decorative excesses ofthe mid-nineteenth century. At itsheart was a search for a return tosimplicity, quiet beauty and honestyof construction. There is no singlerecognisable style that representsArts and Crafts an interior could beexotic and precious, with richcolours and patterns, or homely andplain, as long as it adhered to theArts and Crafts ideal of handcraftsmanship. The craft workshopsand guilds, created in idealizedimitation of their medievalcounterparts, produced furniture andtextiles, metalwork and ceramicswhich raised the status of suchobjects from minor householdarticles to the decorative arts.Arts & Crafts Style is a richlyillustrated survey of this middle-classrevolution in aesthetic taste, whichdraws together its many differentstrands and looks in particular athow the style was interpretedinternationally, throughout Europeand America.Introduction 7PART ONECoherence Out of ChaosThe Search for a New Style 1 3 • The Choice of Gothic 21Stained Glass 34 William Morris 36 • Morris and Company 38The Victorian Fear of Chaos 43 • The Martin Brothers 47William Burges 48PART TWOThe Exploration of Arts and Crafts IdealsA New Gospel is Spread 53 • The Art Chair 68 • C.
