Leading the Simple Life : The Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain 1880-1910

By Wendy Kaplan Leading "The Simple Life": The Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain, 1880-1910 is an incisive and thought-provoking examination of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain, presenting a remarkable selection of objects from that period in The Wolfsonian's collection. Written by curator Wendy Kaplan, this beautifully designed catalogue, produced in conjunction with the Arts and Crafts exhibition at The Wolfsonian-FIU, examines the paradox of a movement that emphasized high-quality design and labor-intensive handcraft, yet sought to make its products available to all.
