Summary: This monumental work is the first book to consider fully the Aesthetic movement of the 1870s and 1880s in the United States in the light of its British precedents and its affinities with Gothic, oriental, and classical act. Published to coincide with a major loan exhibition opening at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in October 1986, In Pursuit of Beauty contains twelve richly illustrated essays by nine distinguished scholars in the fields of American art and American studies. The authors discuss the impact of the Aesthetic movement, within a broad cultural context, on the arts of the period: furinture and interiors, painting and sculpture, silver and other metalwork, glass and ceramics, wallpaper and textiles. This volume includes an extensive dictionary of architects, artisans, artists, and manufacturers; a selected bibliography; and an index.
