Description:
A leader of the American Arts and Crafts movement, Arthur Wesley Dow (1857-1922) was a prolific artist and an inspiring teacher. His creative genius is celebrated in this elegant study of his work and its impact on generations of painters, photographers, printmakers, potters, woodworkers, and weavers.
Expand description
The book explores the full range of Dow's artistry, including painting, photography, and printmaking. Dow's profound influence on numerous students and colleagues, among them Georgia O'Keeffe, Max Weber, Edward Steichen, and Alfred Stieglitz, is seen in vivid reproductions of their work.
In his teaching and writing, Dow stressed the Arts and Crafts aesthetic of beautifully rendered, well-crafted works that balance decorative design with functionality. This volume clearly illustrates those principles and illuminates Dow's continuing relevance to craft in America.
