Beverly Brandt publishes “The Craftsman and The Critic”
Beverly Brandt’s (BFA 1973) new book, “The Craftsman and the Critic”, explores the ideas, objects, and history of the Arts and Crafts movement in Boston.
“The Craftsman and the Critic” looks at Boston in the Gilded Age as a center for reform, epitomized by the Aesthetic and the Arts and Crafts movements; the evolution of the profession of design criticism in the 19th century; the formative years of Boston’s influential Society of Arts and Crafts; important people in the movement; and the Arts and Crafts revival that has flourished in the United States since the 1970s.
