MOVEMENT




The Arts and Crafts movement was a British
and American aesthetic movement occurring
in the last years of the 19th century and
the early years of the 20th century.

Inspired by the writings of John Ruskin,
it was at its height between approximately
1880 and 1910.


The Arts and Crafts Movement began primarily
as a search for authentic and the meaningful
styles for the 19th century and as a reaction
to the eclectic revival of historic styles of
the Victorian era and "soulless" machine-made
production aided by the Industrial Revolution.

Considering the machine to be the root cause
of all repetitive and mundane evils, some of
the protagonists of this movement turned entirely
away from the use of machines and towards handcraft,
which tended to concentrate their productions in
the hands of sensitive but well-heeled patrons.
