Craft in the Machine Age 1920-1945: The History of Twentieth-Century American Craft

Kardon, Janet, and Rosemarie Haag Bletter

In its relatively short life, Manhattan's American Craft Museum is fast becoming one of the primary movers and shakers in uncovering the best of the U.S.' past. This volume of 10 essays accompanied by approximately 100 pages of exhibition photographs establishes once and for all the impact of art moderne on America. Each of the eminent scholars contributes explanation, definition, and elucidation. Sprightly prose--not deadly scholarly fumes--emanate from and enliven and enhance what could have been a simple exhibition catalog, transforming it into a useful resource for generations present and future.
