Leading "The Simple Life": The Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain, 1880-1910 (The Wolfsonian-FIU, 1999; 55 pages, paperback $18) 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 Wendy Kaplan, this beautifully designed catalog, 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. Leading "The Simple Life" is available at The Wolfsonian-FIU museum shop by calling 305.535.2680 or e-mail museumshop@thewolf.fiu.edu. |
