Artist and Artisan (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book beautifully explores the intertwined histories of art and craft, particularly in the realm of metalwork. The author highlights how, in the past, artisans and artists worked in close collaboration, producing pieces that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing. However, the author argues that this relationship has since been fractured, with art increasingly prioritized over craftsmanship. This book advocates for a return to the values of the past, arguing that the combination of artistic vision and technical skill can lead to the creation of truly exceptional works. By providing historical examples and showcasing the work of contemporary artisans, the author makes a compelling case for the importance of bridging the gap between art and craft.
