  • Arts & Craftsby Oscar Lovell Triggs

    Parkstone International 2012; US$ 8.95

    ?Bewahren Sie nichts in Ihren Häusern auf, was Sie nicht als nützlich erachten oder wirklich schön finden.? Allein dieses Zitat von William Morris könnte schon als erklärende Zusammenfassung der Arts and Crafts-Bewegung dienen, die in England eine Reform des Kunstgewerbes hervorrief. Diese von John Ruskin gegründete und von William Morris erst richtig vorangetriebene Bewegung Arts and Crafts brachte revolutionäre Ideen in das viktorianische England. In der Blüte des ?seelenlosen? Industriezeitalters, in dem Gegenstände standardisiert wurden, forderten die Mitglieder der Arts and Crafts-Bewegung, in die Herstellung einen ästhetischen Aspekt einzubringen. Handwerk und Design wurden somit zum Hauptgegenstand dieser neuen Ideologie. Arts & Crafts... more...

    Parkstone International 2012; US$ 8.95

    « N?ayez rien dans vos maisons que vous ne considérez pas utile ou croyez être beau. » Cette citation de William Morris pourrait résumer à elle seule les Arts & Crafts, mouvement unique qui, en Angleterre, provoqua une véritable réforme des arts appliqués.

Au milieu de l?ère industrielle « sans âme » qui standardisait les objets, les Arts & Crafts proposèrent de remettre l?esthétique au sein de la production. L?artisanat et le design devinrent ainsi le coeur de cette idéologie nouvelle. Influençant de nombreux domaines à travers le monde, les tendances Arts & Crafts se traduisirent... more...

  • The Arts & Crafts Movementby Oscar Lovell Triggs

    Parkstone International 2012; US$ 8.95

    ?Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.? This quote alone from William Morris could summarise the ideology of the Arts & Crafts movement, which triggered a veritable reform in the applied arts in England. Founded by John Ruskin, then put into practice by William Morris, the Arts & Crafts movement promoted revolutionary ideas in Victorian England. In the middle of the ?soulless? Industrial Era, when objects were standardised, the Arts & Crafts movement proposed a return to the aesthetic at the core of production. The work of artisans and meticulous design thus became the heart of this new ideology, which influenced styles throughout the world, translating the essential ideas of Arts & Crafts... more...
