Summary:
Dating from the 1850s to the First World War, the Arts and Crafts movement was an international phenomenon of enormous scope and influence. It encompassed everything from architecture to town planning, metalwork and embroidery, in places as diverse as California and Budapest. Born of thinkers and practitioners in Victorian England its ideological currents reflect the era’s most pressing social, political and artistic concerns. In this book Rosalind Blakesley explores the common ideas that give cohesion to a movement of otherwise bewildering breadth and stylistic heterogeneity. At the origins of the movement was a reaction against industrialization, the long-standing division between traditional crafts and fine art and the over-elaborate ornamentation which disguised an object or building’s true 'function'. Early British Arts and Crafts practitioners campaigned for a revival of old craft techniques, for the elevation of the applied arts and for 'honesty' in design, ideas that were picked up and developed across Europe and the United States, with national variants quickly emerging. Germany, for example, recognized the potential of industrial techniques and experimented with standardization in design; in Finland, then annexed to Russia, Arts and Crafts was allied to the search for self-expression and a national style in art. Examining both acknowledged Arts and Crafts centres and lesser-known communities, Rosalind Blakesley concludes her survey with an evaluation of the Movement’s significance in the twenty-first century.

Summary:
The Shakers - a religious community whose origins are founded in the eighteenth century - continue to exert an influence upon twenty-first century life, not for their religious teachings but rather through the simple, yet elegant aesthetic they developed for the everyday artefacts they designed for themselves. "Selling Shaker" aims to explore this influence and chart its evolution throughout the course of the twentieth century via the interest shown by the media, art institutions and general public in the Shaker story. Whilst other books have sought to examine the origins of the religious or aesthetic basis of the movement throughout the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this book seeks to deal with the Shaker phenomenon from a different angle. "Selling Shaker" examines the means by which the Shakers have been 'promoted' during the course of the last century by scholars and museum academics, in order to establish a 'national' style. The book follows this process from high art to popular culture influences, illustrating how the Shaker style has entered the general design consciousness, and in doing so, has become a generic style largely divorced from the original Shaker aesthetic. Using a variety of sources ranging from museum catalogues to contemporary design magazines, "Selling Shaker" aims to tell the story of the rise and rise of the Shaker phenomenon.
