Résumé : Présentation de ce courant artistique anglais du XIXe siècle, qui a marqué l'artisanat, le design, l'architecture ou encore la peinture. Fondé par John Ruskin, puis véritablement mis en oeuvre par William Morris, il véhicula des idées révolutionnaires dans l'Angleterre victorienne.

Résumé : Charles and Henry Greene are key figures of the American Arts and Crafts movement. This large-scale monograph on the Greenes' life and complete range of works features new scholarship, newly commissioned photography, and previously unpublished archival material including recently discovered projects. Charles and Henry Greene's work is concentrated in California - where they practised architecture together from 1906-22 before establishing separate offices - and they have become closely identified with the popular regionalist "Craftsman" style. The elegant houses of their peak period, such as the Gamble, Blacker and Thorsen houses, are masterful in their design and execution. No detail was overlooked: the whole interior including furniture, fittings, and glasswork, as well as the building (down to pegs, airvents, and bracing) were conceived as an organic whole, and finished exquisitely. Following the lead of the chronology of their intertwined personal and professional lives, the monograph begins with how the two brothers were raised to be architects and to practice together. they were sent to MIT (then the finest architecture school in America), where their natural artistic skills were combined with an excellent technical grounding, before apprenticing with liberal architects in Boston. After establishing their own practice together they quickly allied themselves with the progressive Arts and Craft movement, a movement they were soon to be shaping as much as responding to. Their distinctive and innovative designs were all-encompassing, treating every component of a house (both inside and out) as an element to be designed. Their work drew prestigious and wealthy clients, but their high fees and exacting (and therefore slow) process eventually led to the break down of their joint practice. The projects of their individual offices, while excellent examples of the Arts and Crafts style, never reached the same aesthetic and architectural level as the fruits of their symbiotic partnership.Table des matières Yankee forebears; Midwest boys; to make pleasurable those things; a California house; trees of life, stones of art; the elusive client; guarding a legacy; in seaside Bohemia; "with the beautiful in mind...".

Résumé : Cette monographie présente le mouvement des Arts and crafts, créé par l'architecte Ashbee en 1888, qui se donna pour ambition de rénover les arts et métiers, en réaction contre la laideur des constructions industrielles. Les membres de cette société créèrent, dans le domaine des arts décoratifs et de l'architecture, des oeuvres qui font la part belle à l'artisanat et à la pureté des lignes.

Résumé : This book emphasises details in the work of Greene & Greene as well as their gestalt design philosophy (designing house, furniture, decorative arts) and the important influences on their work. As was the case with their work, the author pulls together disparate influences such as the Arts & Crafts movement, Japanese architecture and philosophy, Chinese furniture and the environment and topography of California (a sometimes overlooked but crucial element). The three main chapters address history and influences; details in the broader view: architecture and unifying themes; and, details in the micro view: furniture and interiors (which were indistinguishable from furniture). Numerous new photographs together with historical photos, provides context and perspective.

Résumé : William Morris, né dans l'Angleterre industrielle du XIXe siècle, acquit la compréhension et la maîtrise de la technique artisanale, tapisserie ou imprimerie. Ses schémas stylisés et souvent empruntés à la campagne anglaise, à des faits historiques et au folklore, aux mythes et aux légendes, lui ont inspiré ses plus beaux motifs.
