Download or read book At Home with Gustav Stickley written by and published by Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art; U.P.N.E.. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his first years as an Arts and Crafts furniture maker, from about mid-1900 to early 1904, Gustav Stickley and his designers created the most significant cabinetwork his firm would ever produce. For the most part made of quarter-sawn American oak, this furniture was substantial, subtly proportioned, essentially rectilinear, and built using traditional joinery--for instance, tenon and key, dovetail, pinned through tenons--and employing hand-wrought copper or iron hardware. These structural elements were both functional and symbolic, literally holding the furniture together while also expressing its moral aesthetic: though a factory product, every piece was solidly, honestly made. Stephen Gray is among those few who, early on, recognized both the inherent beauty of Arts and Crafts furniture and the value of the Craftsman Ideal. His collection includes many of the rarest forms and has few equals, but in two regards, it is almost singular: Stephen Gray lives with this major collection and has embraced the Craftsman Ideal in a beautiful, simple, personal, regionally sensitive manner. He lives in a nineteenth-century country house and has integrated an important collection with the ideas of decorating, lifestyle, and sensitivity to environment that were central to the Craftsman enterprise. Through Stephen Gray's collection, it is possible to explore the disparate values of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the Arts and Crafts interior, and the tensions inherent in the pursuit of an aesthetically simple Ideal life. This lavishly illustrated book features Stickley's furniture, including many photographs of Stickley designs in use, and it also includes some fine examples of art pottery, lighting fixtures, tiles, and color woodblock prints. The essays by David Cathers on Stickley's early work and Tommy McPherson, who compares Stephen Gray's living room to Stickley's own living room at Craftsman Farms, put Stickley's work into perspective. The introduction by Stephen Gray touches on collecting and living with Stickley.

Book Synopsis The Artistic Furniture of Charles Rohlfs by : Joseph Cunningham
Download or read book The Artistic Furniture of Charles Rohlfs written by Joseph Cunningham and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rohlfs (1853-1936) ranked among the most innovative furniture makers at the turn of the twentieth century. Praised by the international press and exhibited throughout the United States and Europe, his beautiful works grew out of an interesting mix of styles that included Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, and proto-modernism. This book presents the first major study of this important American designer and craftsman, drawing upon new photographs and fresh sources of information. Alongside traditional historical approaches, the book presents detailed formal, structural, and stylistic analyses of Rohlfs's well-known masterpieces from major museums, together with lesser-known objects in public and private collections. Topics include discovering the contribution of Rohlfs's wife--mystery novelist Anna Katharine Green--to his designs; the far-ranging sources of his idiosyncratic motifs; his influence on Gustav Stickley's designs; his commissioned interiors; his efforts at self-promotion and marketing; and his attempts to define a conceptual framework for his artistic endeavor. Handsomely designed and illustrated, the book also features a complete set of unpublished period illustrations of over seventy works.
Download or read book In My Studio written by Mary Panzer and published by Hudson River Museum. This book was released on 1986 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudolf Eickemeyer, Jr. began his work as a photographer in 1884, for his father's engineering firm. His interest piqued, he rapidly advanced to portraiture and landscape photography. Eickemeyer spent twenty years as a commercial success in his role as fashionable Fifth Avenue portraitist. Working with Eastman Kodak, he demystified photography, attracting thousands of amateurs. Eickemeyer excelled at both artistic photography and professional photography, as this exhibition attests. A lifelong resident of Yonkers, New York, Eickemeyer played a key role in the creation of the Yonkers Museum of Science and Art, the institutional forerunner of the Hudson River Museum, an entirely appropriate venue for this comprehensive exhibition and catalog.

Book Synopsis Gustav Stickley and the American Arts & Crafts Movement by : Kevin W. Tucker
Download or read book Gustav Stickley and the American Arts & Crafts Movement written by Kevin W. Tucker and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three decades of Arts and Crafts exhibitions that have surveyed the entire movement or focused on its many regional manifestations, Gustav Stickley, the movement's central figure in the US, now receives his due. This exhibition catalogue, redolent with stunning color photographs of 100-plus selected Stickley pieces, draws its intellectual credibility from essays by six leading scholars of the Arts and Crafts movement: Tucker, Brandt, David Cathers, Joseph Cunningham, Beth Ann Macpherson, and Tommy MacPherson. They examine the cultural and economic circumstances of Stickley's emergence around 1900, the formulation of his business strategies and ideals, the role of Irene Sargent and The Craftsman magazine, the paradoxical nature of the craftsman home, and Stickley's own two homes. Stickley is a large subject, but this catalogue captures the essence of the man and his work. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; general readers. General Readers; Upper-division Undergraduates; Graduate Students; Researchers/Faculty; Professionals/Practitioners. Reviewed by J. Quinan.
