Creating Beauty: Jewelry and Enamels of the American Arts & Crafts Movement (Hardcover)

More than 530 beautifully photographed examples of jewelry and
art-enamel work glow from the pages of this first comprehensive
study of the work and aesthetic vision of the American Arts &
Crafts movement. The lives and art of the era's top craftsmen-84
jewelers, enamelists, and metalsmiths-are explained with careful
consideration to the contexts and influences that shaped them. The
belief that beauty should be part of everyday life was paramount in
the design reform movements of the early 20th century. Dozens of
creators are featured here, including Josephine Hartwell Shaw,
Frank Gardner Hale, Robert Riddle Jarvie, the Kalo Shop, Louis
Comfort Tiffany, and the Roycroft. Although jewelry and enamelwork
pieces received appreciative critical acclaim in that period,
during today's revival of interest in the US Arts & Crafts
movement, they have attracted scant attention from art historians.
This collection fills that void and is a valuable resource for
collectors and historians.
