In Their Own Words

The Arts and Crafts Movement in the Pacific Northwest

|

This magnificent compendium is the first comprehensive exploration of the Arts and Crafts legacy in the Pacific Northwest. It traces the movement from its nineteenth-century English beginnings to its flowering in Washington and Oregon through the 1920s and beyond, weaving into a tale of idealism and devotion everything from iconic masterpieces to recent discoveries. Included are public and private architecture, furniture, pottery and textiles, basketry and the influences of Native American arts, painting, printmaking, photography, graphic arts, and book design. Beautifully illustrated with nearly 400 photographs and period graphics, including rare images published here for the first time, this groundbreaking volume is an authoritative reference, a provocative story, and an irresistible treasure trove for arts and crafts collectors and enthusiasts everywhere.
