Chapter 11 – Arts & Crafts Movement – 19th Century European Art History
The Arts and Crafts Movement was concerned with the ethics as much as with the aesthetics of design. Its supporters were inspired by the idealism of Ruskin and Morris to campaign for a world that was fit to live in; in such a world men would enjoy the freedom to be creative, and this freedom would be expressed, in the words of William Morris, in the development of &a decorative, noble, popular art&&-design by the people for the people.
