Fall Exhibition A Spirit of Simplicity: American Arts and Crafts from the Two Red Roses Foundation
October 6, 2009 - January 3, 2010
Free with Museum Admission
A Spirit of Simplicity will feature nearly 150 objects illustrating the breadth of American Arts and Crafts style, including furniture, woodblock prints, stained glass, decorative tiles, pottery, and metalwork. The most significant producers of Arts and Crafts furniture and metalware will be represented, including works by Gustav Stickley and his Craftsman Workshops, Elbert Hubbard and the Roycrofters, the Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts Colony, Dirk van Erpp, Arthur Wesley Dow and his followers, the Grueby Faience Co., Marblehead Potteries, Newcomb Pottery, Paul Revere Pottery, Rookwood Pottery, and Van Briggle Pottery. A special feature of the exhibition will be re-creations of Arts and Crafts rooms furnished with works by Gustav Stickley and the Craftsman Workshops and by Charles Rohlfs.
The Arts and Crafts style began as a reformist movement in Great Britain in the 1880s, and gained popularity in Europe and America during the next decade. The movement was a reaction to the changes brought to modern society by the industrial revolution. Practitioners were especially antagonistic toward mass-produced goods, and the working conditions in many factories. The antidote to a modern, mechanized society seemed to be a return to handcrafted objects of good design.
The exhibition is on loan from the Two Red Roses Foundation in Palm Harbor, Florida. A Spirit of Simplicity is co-curated by Martin Eidelberg, Professor Emeritus at Rutgers University, and Tracy Kamerer, Chief Curator at the Flagler Museum.
