Arts and Crafts
ARTS AND CRAFTS 1859-1914 The period, within which we class arts and crafts architects and designers, spans a great length of time. ... Arts and Crafts grew out of the Gothic Revival movement. ... The arts and crafts architects and designers took these ideas of a “British” architecture much further. ... ” When the arts and crafts period came about, one of the main ideas that were taken further from the gothic revivalist ideas was that of ”Ruskinian changefulness”. ... Arts and crafts architecture took this idea a lot further than Pugin and Ruskin could have. However arts and crafts did not take their inspiration directly from these large gothic revival buildings, but from the vernacular architecture in this gothic period, where everyday buildings used a flowing style. The arts and crafts style really began with the work of William Morris. ... He was an artist, and wished to combine the arts and craftmanship of the time. ... The Red House personifies some of the ideas that arts and crafts architects followed. ... ” However, the Red House was the mark for the beginning of arts and crafts and as the style progressed, other architects took the ideas further through to the early 20th century, and developed more ideas of there own. ... Many architects followed the arts and crafts but there were a few main and most influential architects at the head of the movement.
