註釋"A definitive history and outlook for the future of the crafts movement. Studio craft started with the Arts and Crafts movement of the late nineteenth century and its practitioners' reaction against machine-made objects and mass produced commodities. The movement has grown and spread rapidly over the last hundred years. In The Persistence of Craft, contributors discuss the development of not only six specific crafts (glass, ceramics, jewelry, wood, textiles, and metal) but also the trends and movements that have helped shape their development. These trends range from philosophical considerations and issues such as ethnicity, tradition, and post modernism, to practicalities such as the development of new techniques and equipment. All of these topics reveal one over-arching concern: the function of the crafts within modernist culture. A great number of significant works are being made in all types of media, with all media types gaining scope and ambition. The underlying cultural position of the crafts, however, remains a tense and unresolved matter. In this collection, artists, historians, and philosophers around the world examine here the complex issues confronting this vital area of visual culture."--pub. desc.
