This Week on the SNAG News Blog: Books & DVDs
Masters of Craft is a personal collection of portraits taken by Paul J. Smith featuring 224 artists working in fiber, clay, glass, metal, and wood . Smith is Director Emeritus of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.
Drawing on his career of over fifty years as an arts administrator and curator, the book documents his extensive interest in meeting artists in their studios, as well as at conferences and national and international events. By reflecting his firsthand experience of the changing currents in 20th-century craft, this book is a uniquely personal record that captures an important aspect of the history of the studio craft movement. Collectively the photographs illustrate makers who have much in common and who are part of a community that share friendships, interests, and a belief in the importance of the handmade object.Of the 43 metal artists included, several photos were taken at SNAG conferences. The book is being released on July 28th by Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. See more books & DVDs
