[Rarebooks] FS: Byrdcliffe. An American Arts and Crafts Colony

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Byrdcliffe. An American Arts and Crafts Colony”

Edited by Nancy E. Greene.
Published by the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art in 2004.

DISCUSSION: “Byrdcliffe: An American Arts and Crafts Colony is the first
major traveling exhibition and publication about Byrdcliffe, an artist
colony founded in 1902-03 in Woodstock, New York. Byrdcliffe, which still
functions today, was an important force in the Arts and Crafts movement in
America and has a rich artistic and social legacy. The colony produced
beautiful objects in a variety of art forms, from painted furniture to
glazed ceramics and oil paintings. Of equal importance were the utopian
ideals of its founders, combined with the creativity of its talented but
under-appreciated artists, and other colorful personalities. Set against
the background of a rapidly changing America and other Arts and Crafts
colonies in this country and Europe, these facets of Byrdcliffe's history
form a compelling exhibit and publication project, which has a high degree
of relevance and appeal for 21st-century audiences who yearn for simpler,
more centered lives. Celebrating over a hundred years as a functioning art
colony, Byrdcliffe features 191 fine and decorative arts objects,
historical materials, architecture, folk music, and literature produced
during the colony's first 26 years, from its establishment to the death of
its founder. The exhibition and catalogue examine the artistic,
historical, and social significance of the colony”.
