Superbly illustrated in color and black-and-white, this fascinating book provides an in-depth pictorial survey of the decorative arts of the Mission Arts and Crafts style.
CHRISTIE'S ARTS AND CRAFTS STYLE by Michael Jeffery, Watson-Guptill Publications, NY, 2001.
From metalwork to glassware, furniture to ceramics, utilitarian objects in the hands of Morris, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gustav Stickley and Emile Galle became beautiful as will as functional. Art was harnesses to a new concept of interior design with textiles, wallpaper, furniture and lovingly handprinted books featuring the hallmarks of the movement: foliate motifs, birds and richly jeweled colors. Through seemingly commonplace objects such as fireplace implements, pottery and the new electric lighting. Arts and Crafts style was delivered directly into the home and Doulton.
