Recoiling from the mechanization brought by the industrial revolution, late-nineteenth-century designers in England and America urged a return to the fine craftsmanship exemplified by medieval craft guilds. Leaders such as John Ruskin, William Morris, and Gustav Stickley asserted that in honest handwork and spare, simple spaces a life of true beauty could be found. Arts &amp; Crafts brings back the turn-of-the-century era of Morris and Stickley, of bungalows and built-ins, by detailing the period's history and its architecture, designers, furnishings, fashions, arts, and key buildings. It takes us on a tour of the movement's icons: Morris's Red House, Greene and Greene's Gamble House, and Wright's Prairie houses; Rookwood pottery and Tiffany glass; The Craftsman and the Morris chair - all simple yet beautiful designs that never went out of style.

The Renaissance was hailed as a new style, yet its namemeaning "rebirth" - shows a historical bent. In the classical past, fifteenth- and sixteenth-century designers such as Michelangelo, Palladio, and Brunelleschi found models of ideal form. But as Tracy E. Cooper explains in this compact guide, the Renaissance was also a modern age of exploration and invention. People began to build again, released from the Dark Ages, and used science and nature to achieve a cultural rebirth. No Renaissance man exemplified the spirit of this era more than Leonardo da Vinci - scientist, innovator, and artist of world-renowned works such as the Mona Lisa. From the miraculous domed cathedral of Florence to urban palaces and rural villas, Renaissance captures the new world view that spread from Italy throughout Europe - to English country houses, French chateaux, and German town halls. It chronicles the achievements of the period along with its architectural styles, furnishings, fashions, art, designers, and notable buildings. The book recreates the full spectrum of Renaissance life - its churches and courtyards, its Palladian villas and piazzas, its ideal cities and real gardens, all in an inviting format that recalls the world of Leonardo and Michelangelo.

Called variously Le Style Moderne, Liberty Style, and a host of other names, the style known today as Art Nouveau - the art of the new - flowered in the mid-1880s and did not fade until World War I. Predominantly a decorative style, its lushly curving forms and ornament found inspiration in nature rather than in classical shapes. As Constance M. Greiff describes in this exuberant sampler, Art Nouveau curves showed up in the Paris Metro stations, idiosyncratic buildings by Antoni Gaudi in Spain, and a seductive collection of jewelry, furniture, Tiffany lamps, Liberty textiles, wallpapers, and ceramics in which the swirling line was dominant. Art Nouveau reprises the fin de siecle, highlighting the era and its personalities, architecture, decorative designs, funishings, arts, and significant buildings - all in a delightful format that brings back the voluptuous age of Oscar Wilde and Sarah Bernhardt, Toulouse-Lautrec and Sigmund Freud. The undulant lines of Art Nouveau imprinted themselves on pendants by Rene Lalique, posters by Alphons Mucha, glass by Emile Galle, the interior of Maxim's in Paris, and apartment houses from Brussels to Barcelona. Art Nouveau presents the story of the designs and the designers who helped this new age blossom.
