There goes my budget . . .
21 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
I first became aware of the Arts & Crafts movement of William Morris and his circle back in the late 1960s, when Art Nouveau (an outgrowth of Arts & Crafts) was enjoying a renaissance. I ended up with several pieces of Arts & Crafts-style furniture (replicas, naturally, on my graduate school budget), some poster (reprints) and a couple of affordable ceramics (original). And I made a point thereafter of searching out museum collections and galleries specializing in this stuff. I still have a preference for the clean lines of furniture and the luminescent glazes on pots, especially those by Pilkington and Rookwood. Miller has brought together in this beautifully produced volume more than a thousand examples of design and craft, with detailed descriptions and notes and a list of "Key Features" for various artists and studios. Approximate values also are included, though I'm happy just to look at the pictures. If you're trying to learn about the Arts & Crafts movement, this would be a good visual textbook.
Wealth of Information

This book was well worth buying. It has a wealth of information on the subject. It also has beautiful photos that inspire.

Simple clear beginners introduction
1 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think the Judith Miller books are very clearly set out and give a good, quick 'flavour' of a lot of the major designers and names for the arts and craft period.
She doesn't go into any depth (with only 1 or 2 pages per person, she doesn't really have the space to) and some of the text is repetitive but it is clearly presented with good photos and would allow you to look up further on the people you find interesting.
