| | Arts and Crafts movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the United States, it should be noted, the term Arts and Crafts movement is often used to denote the style of interior design that prevailed between the dominant eras of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or roughly the period from 1910 to 1925. | | | The Arts and Crafts Movement began primarily as a search for authentic and meaningful styles for the 19th century and as a reaction to the eclectic historicism of the Victorian era and to "soulless" machine-made production aided by the Industrial Revolution. | | | The Arts and Crafts movement is a major English aesthetic movement occuring in the last years of the 19th century. |

| | Arts and Crafts Movement - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Arts and Crafts Movement |
| | In 1884 the Art Workers Guild was formed to bridge the gap between the ‘craftsman’ and the ‘artist’, and in 1886 several of its members founded the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, from which the movement derived its name. | | | Its roots lay in the ideas of the architect A W N Pugin and the art critic John Ruskin, both of whom believed that a country's art reflected its spiritual state and was damaged by the loss of traditional skills. | | | His political and artistic convictions were closely linked, and he claimed that art as ‘man's expression of his joy in labour’ was stifled by the squalid industrialism of Victorian England, although only the rich could afford to buy his expensive designs. |

| | Arts and Crafts Movement: 19th Century Glass Design, from Angela Bowey's Glass Museum On Line |
| | Another major influence on the Arts and Crafts Movement was the The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood which was formed in the late 1840's by a group of artists (and later craftsmen/women) who rejected the prevailing sophisticated and ornate styles of art in favour of the simpler medieval styles of the 14th and 15th centuries. | | | The Aesthetic Movement is a name that may be applied to the interest in art which developed in the 1870's and 1880's amongst the upper middle classes, especially in London and Paris. | | | The Association for Advancement of Truth in Art was set up in the USA in the 1860's by a group of painters inspired by John Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites. |

| | The Arts and Crafts Movement |
| | This movement, which challenged the tastes of the Victorian era, was inspired by the social reform concerns of thinkers such as Walter Crane and John Ruskin, together with the ideals of reformer and designer, William Morris. | | | This style, which was more or less concurrent with the Arts and Crafts style, was not at all concerned with the social reform movements of the day. | | | The forms of Arts and Crafts style were typically rectilinear and angular, with stylized decorative motifs remeniscent of medieval and Islamic design. |

| | The Arts and Crafts Movement was a response to a century of unprecedented social and economic upheaval. | | | The improvement of working conditions, the integration of art into everyday life, the unity of all arts, and an aesthetic resulting from the use of indigenous materials and native traditions also were central to the movement's philosophy. | | | The Arts and Crafts Movement was an international one: it touched countries as far apart as Russia and Scotland, the United States, and Australia. |

| | With Art Nouveau furniture the sinuous, whip-lash, sculptural character of the pieces met with fury from Arts and Crafts practitioners. | | | His early work can be of distinct Arts and Crafts character, especially in its use of chequered inlays but he moved with the times and Art Deco, cottage and sophisticated town furniture all came from his instigation, some of it now very expensive - but not all. | | | The Arts and Crafts Movement has not yet reached anything like the pinnacles of Art Nouveau and there is much encouragement to collect the work of lesser lights who have not yet been fully appreciated. |

| | In My Opinion |
| | The Royal Academy, which dominated all aspects of artistic thought, taught art students to compose paintings with pyramidal groupings of figures, one major source of light at one side matched by a lesser on the opposite, and an emphasis on rich tone at the expense of color. | | | Even the conventional arts were not immune from this insistence on formality and strict order. | | | And finally if we are able to discover the answer to these questions, can the lesson be applied to our modern art? |

| | Although there are many ending dates for the Arts and Crafts Movement, ranging from 1916 to 1920 and even up to 1929, it is safe to say that the period had effectively ended by 1916, and its popularity had dramatically declined by 1919. | | | While the 1896 death of William Morris signaled the beginning of the end of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England, it was a banner year in America. | | | That year also saw the first Arts and Crafts Exhibition, in Boston. |
