Additional Information
Style: Arts and Crafts (1840-1910)
The Arts and Crafts movement was an art movement for the reform of applied arts, a kind of cultured reaction of artists and intellectuals to the runaway industrialization of the late 19th century.This reaction considers craftsmanship as an expression of man's work and his needs, but above all as a lasting value over time and tends to despise bad products, low quality materials and the confused mixture of styles distributed by industrial production. < br/> The thought roots of this movement develop from Augustus Pugin's considerations on the emphasis of the Gothic style, as the only style that contains the principles of Christianity and, consequently, of purity and honesty, unable to hide the structure.
