American Arts and Crafts: Virtue in Design

by Leslie Greene Bowman

Book Overview

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.
