Taste is Not a Moral IssueBy DC Book AngelI admit to reading the book cover to cover one lazy winter afternoon. My first creative heroes were William Morris and others who taught themselves how to do so many different things in order to enact their vision in every element of the house-- tiles; fabric; furniture; and so on. The aesthetic movement changed the middle class American house and family life in urban areas; integrating family time and encouraging creative pursuits. It is a positive reading experience marred only the authors failure to catch some really awful misuse of words in the text (e.g. liable for libel and tenant for tenet); her belief that taste is a moral issue; her lack of awareness of the incredible positive impact of television and magazine house porn; and her belief that somehow two workers in a family adversely affects their aesthetic reach. The conclusion left a bad taste after a thoroughly interesting and informative ride through an era of incredible democratization of beauty and a DIY ethic that continues today; and yet; no acknowledgement that the Kenners lifestyle required phenomenal amounts of cheap labor by people who could only dream of having time; energy; space; and finances to host a pink luncheon.13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. A pick for some college-level arts collectionsBy Midwest Book ReviewCreating the Artful Home: The Aesthetic Movement is; surprisingly; the first close examination of late 19th-century American home design and its culture; offering up details on how the Aesthetic movement left a legacy of houses; developments; and ideas which linger into modern times. Historians; collectors and home and garden readers will learn about the movement and its impact on home furnishing trends; offering many rare color photo views of past interiors and exteriors along with dozens of drawings not seen elsewhere. A scholarly tone is added with an analysis of gender roles and architectural history; but while this scholarly tone allows CREATING THE ARTFUL HOME to be a pick for some college-level arts collections; its more likely audience will be the public or general-interest lending library; which will find it a unique coverage.Diane C.
