“Apostles of Beauty: Arts and Crafts from Britain to Chicago.”
Description
Today's socially responsible designers owe a huge debt to William Morris, the 19th-century Englishman who may be the only socialist ever to embrace tapestry design. More than 190 examples of furniture, ceramics, textiles and other objects show how Morris, Charles Robert Ashbee, Gustav Stickley, Frank Lloyd Wright and their contemporaries proved design could be both useful and beautiful.
