The "Arts and Crafts Movement", which began in the late nineteenth century in England and continued into the early twentieth century both there and in America, brought many changes to the world of art and design Rebelling against the artificialities and heavy ornamentation of the High Victorian aesthetic of the time, its advocates оебйж celebrated simplicity, utility, handcraft, natural materials, and vernacular forms William Morris, Ernest Cimson, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and many others produced a wealth of work guided by the Arts and Crafts approach, including architecture, furniture, ceramics, stained glass, wallpaper, jewelry, and books Not surprisingly, the architects of the movement turned their minds not only to buildings, but to gardens, as well Such designers as Edwin Lutyens, C F A Voysey, and M H Baillie Scott championed the unity of the domestic establishment, in which the house, its furnishings, and the grounds surrounding it were considered as an integrated whole In the new houses they built and the historic houses that they restored, they created a new world reminiscent of earlier times, a nostalgic recollection of the past In so doing, they laid out some of the most beautiful gardens that we have today "Gardens of the Arts and Crafts Movement" documents the history of the movement's diverse attitudes toward landscape architecture for the first time The author, Judith B Tankard, a noted garden historian, brings a fresh perspective and a wealth of original research to her subject, one of the most creative periods in the history of modern design Richly illustrated with period watercolors and drawings, as well as new photographs and garden plans made especially for this publication, this book promises to be an important resource for art and design historians, and a delight to all lovers of gardens Иллюстрации Автор Judith B Tankard.  PERFECTИздательство: Harry N Abrams, 2004 г Суперобложка, 216 стр ISBN 0-8109-4965-2 Язык: Английский Формат: 210x260 Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации.
