The first book on the Arts and Crafts movement behind the "Boston Look"
At the turn of the 20th century in Boston, a vibrant and active community of jewelry makers―along with artists, craftspeople, scholars, critics and patrons―found unity in the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement, which held that art and beauty could instill morality and inspire joy.
Frank Gardner Hale, who trained in England with founders of the movement, became the most prominent and prolific creator of works of wearable art, helping to define the "Boston look" characterized by bold use of colored stones and brilliant enamels; refined and delicate settings; and exquisite design and craftsmanship, conceived and executed by a single craftsperson. A leading figure in the community of jewelers and an advocate for the Society of Arts and Crafts, Hale influenced many other important makers, among them Josephine Hartwell Shaw, Edward Everett Oakes, Margaret Rogers and Elizabeth Copeland.
This book, the first in-depth study of the subject, reproduces dozens of ornaments in dazzling color, accompanied by design drawings from the extensive Frank Gardner Hale archive at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. These drawings provide insight into the works' transformation from two to three dimensions and represent rare renderings of many pieces of jewelry that are now lost. The authoritative text brings together scholars of jewelry history and American design to explore how Hale and his contemporaries expressed Arts and Crafts principles in the creation of jewels of enduring allure. 《波士顿风貌》是20世纪初波士顿风貌背后的第一本艺术与工艺美术运动。波士顿风貌是一个充满活力的珠宝制造商社区,艺术家、工匠、学者、批评家和赞助人,以及艺术家、学者、评论家和赞助人,在艺术与工艺美术运动的理念中找到了统一,他们认为艺术和美可以灌输道德,并给人以欢乐。霍尔是珠宝界的领军人物,也是工艺美术协会的倡导者,他影响了许多其他重要的制造商,其中包括约瑟芬 · 哈特威尔 · 肖,爱德华 · 埃弗雷特 · 奥克斯,玛格丽特 · 罗杰斯和伊丽莎白 · 科佩兰。这本书是对这一主题的第一次深入研究,它复制了数十件耀眼的颜色的饰品,并附有波士顿美术博物馆大量弗兰克 · 加德纳 · 霍尔档案的设计图纸。这些图纸提供了对作品从二维到三维转换的洞察力,并代表了许多现在已经丢失的珠宝的罕见效果图。权威的文本汇集了珠宝历史和美国设计的学者,以探讨如何黑尔和他的同代人表达艺术和工艺原则,在创造珠宝持久的吸引力。 基本信息 出版社 : MFA Publications, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (2018年11月20日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 224页 ISBN-10 : 0878468579 ISBN-13 : 978-0878468577 商品重量 : 1.09 kilograms 尺寸 : 20.83 x 2.29 x 25.91 cm
