SynopsisThe American arts and crafts movement is one of the most significant in the history of the decorative arts. Here, in this lavishly illustrated volume, are the finest expressions of the American arts and crafts movement., Influenced by developments in Europe, American proponents in the late 19th and early 20th centuries promoted the minor arts as fine art hand-wrought by individual craftsmen, extolling the virtue of everyday objects and a return to simple materials and workmanship. This book looks at their work.
