Book Reviews of By Hand: The Use of Craft in Contemporary Art
Book Review: A simply gorgeous book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been eyeballing this book for quite some time and finally added to my collection.
I have a BFA in Crafts and am always on the lookout for books which address craft as a fine art form versus craft as a DIY/hobby. By Hand definitely covers it.
Summary of By Hand: The Use of Craft in Contemporary Art
In a response to the sleek forms and perfect angles of late-1990s objects, many of today's artists are returning to handmade work such as hand lettering, hand drawing, and hand sewing. By Hand features an international collection of the most noteworthy artists and shows their work in detailed photography and insightful texts.
