Product Information
An insightful corrective demonstrating the Arts and Crafts Movement's indelible impact on British and American stained glass Beautifully illustrated and based on more than three decades of research, Arts & Crafts Stained Glass is the first study of how the late-19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement transformed the aesthetics and production of stained glass in Britain and America. A progressive school of artists, committed to direct involvement both in making and designing windows, emerged in the 1880s and 1890s, reinventing stained glass as a modern, expressive art form. Using innovative materials and techniques, they rejected formulaic Gothic Revivalism while seeking authentic, creative inspiration in medieval traditions. This new approach was pioneered by Christopher Whall (1849-1924), whose charismatic teaching educated a generation of talented pupils-both men and women-who produced intensely colorful and inventive stained glass, using dramatic, lyrical, and often powerfully moving design and symbolism. Peter Cormack demonstrates how women made critical contributions to the renewal of stained glass as artists and entrepreneurs, gaining meaningful equality with their male colleagues, more fully than in any other applied art. Cormack restores stained glass to its proper status as an important field of Arts and Crafts activity, with a prominent role in the movement's polemical campaigning, its public exhibitions, and its educational program.Product Identifiers

A major contribution to the literature on the Arts & Crafts Movement
This is not only a comprehensive account of how the art of stained glass was transformed by the philosophy of the Arts & Crafts Movement (inspired by William Morris), it's also a strikingly new way of looking at the Movement as a whole, with an informed emphasis on the technical aspects of stained glass and how the artists featured were completely preoccupied by the craft's materials and methods. The book is especially good on the role of art schools in the 1890s - 1920s period, when practical craft teaching replaced the previous more theoretical approach to design. Finally, this really gives proper prominence to the many women stained glass artists who were active within the arts & Crafts period, such as Mary Lowndes, Florence Camm, Wilhemina Geddes and Margaret Rope.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
