The Arts and Crafts Movement began in England in the
1860s as a reform movement.
Its primary proponents were John Ruskin (1819-1900)and William Morris (1834-1896).
Ruskin, itsphilosophical leader, was the most influential
of all Victorian writers on the arts and a member of the
Pre-Raphaelite movement.
The Pre-Raphaelitesbelieved the medieval worldwaspurer in form than the post-Renaissance world because it
was more closely tied to nature.

WILLIAM MORRIS.
Along with architect Philip Webb, painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, he
founded Morris & Co. in 1875.
The guild was to create simple furniture, stained glass, and even
wallpaper that united beauty, craftsmanship, and utility.
He also founded the Kelmscott Press, a small book printing and
binding company that became known for its outstanding examples of
the book arts.
He used the press to publish many of his own writings, therebypromoting the Arts and Crafts movement in both the content and style
of the books.

RUSKIN
Ruskin believed the decorative arts affected the men
who produced them.
The machine dehumanized the worker and led to aloss of dignity because it removed him from the artistic
process and thus, nature itself.
As Ruskin stated, "all cast from the machine is bad,as work it is dishonest."

detailed gothic style. Their interior walls were
either white-washed or covered in wallpaper
depicting medieval themes.
The pottery and textile designs were
intricate, colorful and realistic. While the
original intent was to provide handmade goodsto the common man, the cost ofpaying
craftsmen an honest wage resulted in higher
prices than the common man could afford.
