ARTS AND CRAFTS: IDEAS THAT SHAPED THE WORLD (HB)

The Arts & Crafts movement began as a backlash against industrialism and the prevailing stylistic ideals in mid-19th century Britain. The movement reached Sweden a few decades later and expressed itself as a romanticization of the simple life, tied to the home. In this book, twelve authors focus on the home environments, art schools, museums and other organizations where the ideals and visions were created, interpreted and developed.
