This book examines for the first time the influence of Arthur Wesley Dow as an innovative artist and inspiring teacher to some of the leading painters, printmakers, photographers, ceramists, and furniture makers of the first half of this century. Including works by Dow, his students, and his colleagues, the varied selection of works reproduced in the catalogue underscores the elegance of a pure design based in nature. Nancy E. Green focuses on Dow’s printmaking and the origins of the American Arts and Crafts aesthetic, while Jessie Poesch examines Dow’s impact on American pottery.
