Book Gustav Stickley and the American Arts   Crafts Movement

Download or read book Gustav Stickley and the American Arts Crafts Movement written by Kevin W. Tucker and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three decades of Arts and Crafts exhibitions that have surveyed the entire movement or focused on its many regional manifestations, Gustav Stickley, the movement's central figure in the US, now receives his due. This exhibition catalogue, redolent with stunning color photographs of 100-plus selected Stickley pieces, draws its intellectual credibility from essays by six leading scholars of the Arts and Crafts movement: Tucker, Brandt, David Cathers, Joseph Cunningham, Beth Ann Macpherson, and Tommy MacPherson. They examine the cultural and economic circumstances of Stickley's emergence around 1900, the formulation of his business strategies and ideals, the role of Irene Sargent and The Craftsman magazine, the paradoxical nature of the craftsman home, and Stickley's own two homes. Stickley is a large subject, but this catalogue captures the essence of the man and his work. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; general readers. General Readers; Upper-division Undergraduates; Graduate Students; Researchers/Faculty; Professionals/Practitioners. Reviewed by J. Quinan.

Book Gustav Stickley s Craftsman Farms

Download or read book Gustav Stickley s Craftsman Farms written by Mark Alan Hewitt and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1911 to 1917 Craftsman Farms—now a major museum—was the home of Gustav Stickley, one of the central figures in the American Arts and Crafts Movement. This book unravels the rich and sometimes contradictory ideas that informed not only Stickley but many of the artists and literary figures of the progressive era in America. The year 1900 was the fulcrum in a long arc of utopian ideals dating back to Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, and William Morris in England, a movement which would eventually lead up to the art communes of the Guild of Handicraft, Woodstock, and the MacDowell colony. Craftsman Farms was at the center of a large group of American experiments in "living the artistic life." With this book, Mark Alan Hewitt provides a foil for a critical examination of the theories that guided many architects, artists, and craft artisans at the turn of the last century. Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs as well as many archival photographs from the Winterthur Museum and Library, this book provides both a visual and historical record of Stickley's life and work during his most fertile creative period.
