Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Often the Arts and Crafts movement is recognized by its architectural and furniture design, which evolved from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries and was epitomized by designers such as Gustav Stickley. However, this stylistic and philosophical movement encompassed the entire household, including the linen closet. This book provides a comprehensive study of the textile arts of this period, which are often overlooked. The four authors are all textile specialists involved with Arts and Crafts restoration. Following the development of the movement, from William Morris to American Colonial Revival style, they effectively portray the convergence of influences and the development of the style. They also show how the growth of home ownership, craft schools, and popular kits and instructions lent to the hearty adoption of the Arts and Crafts style by the American middle class. A final chapter on the care and restoration of antique textiles is quite useful. Unfortunately, the quality of the illustrations is inconsistent some are excellent, being both large and detailed, while others, especially the reproductions of period publications, are woefully small. However, there are no comparable books devoted solely to Arts and Crafts textiles, and this one covers the subject admirably. Recommended for larger public libraries.

Synopsis
American Arts and Crafts Textiles explores an important but often overlooked component of the American Arts and Crafts style (1900-1925), exemplified by designers such as Gustav Stickley, Greene & Greene, Harvey Ellis, and Arthur Wesley Dow. The bold and colorful table linens, curtains, pillow shams, clothing, and other textiles typical of the period were often stenciled or embroidered with the same stylized motifs inspired by nature - such as flowers and insects - that appear in Arts and Crafts pottery, metalwork, and other decorative arts. This lavishly illustrated book provides historical information as well as decorating inspiration. More than 25 photos show the textiles in period room settings located in notable Craftsman style homes around America, while other illustrations include vintage advertisements and detailed photographs of individual works. Chapters outlining the needlework techniques and how to care for antique textiles round out the book.

A Picture is Worth 1000 Words
3. Juli 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
If you are looking for a "picture" book of American Arts & Crafts Textiles and designs, this will be a big disappointment. Although there are a few excellent photographs, most are so small that it is almost impossible to clearly see details.

The Educating of Pat
8. Juni 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I read this beautiful and glorious book front to back. I was quickly taken back to the turn of the century by the authors' rich and flowing text. The historic photograghs and textiles, both museum and privately owned examples, just added more layers of interest to an already thought provoking saga....I learned why I was seduced by their intricate designs and magic performed by two fingers and silk floss. Love poured into the flax, stitch by stitch.
The academic research has been carefully and exhaustingly accomplished. A mindful spirit of the authors who take you page to page revealing the movement of these dedicated women and the heritage they created for us and the preservation of their past.
I learned so much from this lovingly and tirelessly crafted book.
It is a book that will be frequently opened, just to treat my eyes and gaze upon the linens that I love so much.
I highly recommend you treat yourself if you any interest in the Arts and Crafts design or the art textiles.. It is the benchmark for any future work.
Thank you Dianne and Tim for your passion and love.
