Arts
& Crafts
Circa: 1890 - 1929
Art glass is one of the most important
elements of design in the Arts and
Crafts movement. It was used in windows, on light fixtures, and in panels
on furniture. The focus of the Arts and
Crafts movement was a rebellion against the Victorian low quality mass-produced
machine made goods and a return to the use of high quality materials and
hand-made excellence in art and decoration.
INFLUENCES:
Arts and Crafts design inspirations came from the Gothic style of the middle
ages, the Orient, and from nature. Designs were simple and highly stylized.
Motifs ranged from bold geometric designs to stylized motifs of roses, irises
and animals.
Arts
& Crafts, also known as the 'Craftsman' or 'Prairie' style, features simple
linear, abstract designs and complements furniture made in the 'Mission' style. In
North America, the “Mission” style is often mistaken for Arts and Crafts but
although similar they are not the same. |
