National pride, culture, and beauty are paramount in this lovingly prepared and executed work on the handicrafts of Slovenia. The efforts of more than 200 folk artisans working in 61 craft genres are prominently displayed in this comprehensive book, which was sponsored by the Ministry of Small Business and Tourism of the Republic of Slovenia. Both traditional and contemporary crafts produced from wood, reeds, clay, metal, fabric, and other media are highlighted in a fascinating array of articles, including ceramics, furniture, musical instruments, and etched eggs, to name a few. Bogataj (ethnological studies, Univ. of Ljubljana) includes useful information about the artisans and their specific craft, and illustrations highlight the superb quality of the craftsmanship. The most distinctive sections come at the end. "The Encounters Continue" focuses on issues facing artisans, including intellectual property, valuation, and interpretation, while "From Words to People" features five one-day trips that can be taken to explore the daily life and culture of the people of Slovenia. Illustrated with 532 color photos, this volume is an essential purchase for collections in all types of art libraries.Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ.

This monograph—published to coincide with the Bauhaus exhibition at the MoMA (November 8, 2009-January 25, 2010)—celebrates the work of twenty women artists who created feverishly in all the teaching, workshop, and production branches of the Bauhaus—women who should have been included in the major art histories of the twentieth century long ago, but whose names, masterpieces, and extraordinary lives have only gradually become known to us. Recognized figures such as Anni Albers—the first textile artist to be exhibited at the MoMA—and Marianne Brandt—whose elegant geometric tableware have become classic Alessi designs—are showcased alongside previously unknown artists such as Gertrud Grunow, who taught "Harmonizing Science"; Helene Börner, who led the textile workshop; and Ilse Fehling, a sculptor and the most sought-after set and costume designer of her generation. Founded in 1919, the Bauhaus and most of its students were poor and lacking in just about everything. What it did have, however, was an abundance of enthusiasm, talent, and innovative creativity. Furthermore, over half of those seeking to enroll at the school were women. This tornado of the "fairer sex" was initially seen as a threat, and the weaving mill was quickly turned into a separate "women’s facility." Nevertheless, over the years the mill became a hotbed of groundbreaking production, whose impact far surpassed national borders, as demonstrated by the international acclaim of photographers Lucia Moholy, Florence Henri, and Grete Stern.

The Korea Foundation has recently published 'Masters of Traditional Korean Handicrafts,' the first volume of our Selections from Koreana series, which seeks to introduce various aspects of the culture and arts, lifestyle, and traditions of Korea and its people. 'Masters of Traditional Korean Handicrafts,' a compilation of the regular Artisan section of Koreana (2000-2008), offers a glimpse of Korea's foremost handicraft artisans, who have been designated as cultural treasures, and examples of their masterful works in such areas as wood, bamboo, fabric, and metal crafts. Of particular note, in addition to being handmade works of art of exquisite craftsmanship, the items are also everyday articles with practical uses. As such, these stories provide considerable insight into the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the people of Korea. The Korea Foundation thus hopes that this volume can serve as a useful reference and information resource for readers with an interest in Korea and for learning about the richness of its cultural heritage. Also, the book is a memorable souvenir for visitors to Korea and an ideal gift item for anyone who would like to share their appreciation of Korean culture with family and friends.

Novel Craft explores an intriguing and under-studied aspect of cultural life in Victorian England: domestic handicrafts, the decorative pursuit that predated the Arts and Crafts movement. Talia Schaffer argues that the handicraft movement served as a way to critique the modern mass-produced commodity and the rapidly emerging industrial capitalism of the nineteenth century. Her argument is illustrated with the four pivotal novels that form her study's core-Gaskell's Cranford, Yonge's The Daisy Chain, Dickens's Our Mutual Friend, and Oliphant's Phoebe Junior. Each features various handicrafts that subtly aim to subvert the socioeconomic changes being wrought by industrialization. Schaffer goes beyond straightforward textual analysis by shaping each chapter around the individual craft at the center of each novel (paper for Cranford, flowers and related arts in The Daisy Chain, rubbish and salvage in Our Mutual Friend, and the contrasting ethos of arts and crafts connoisseurship in Phoebe Junior). The domestic handicraft also allows for self-referential analysis of the text itself; in scenes of craft production (and destruction), the authors articulate the work they hope their own fictions perform. The handicraft also becomes a locus for critiquing contemporary aesthetic trends, with the novels putting forward an alternative vision of making value and understanding art. A work that combines cultural history and literary studies, Novel Craft highlights how attention to the handicraft movement's radically alternative views of materiality, consumption, production, representation, and subjectivity provides a fresh perspective on the major changes that shaped the Victorian novel as a whole.

The Canadian Handicrafts Guild broadened the definition of art and the artist in Canada. Linking decorative arts with home arts and handicrafts, the Guild consistently showed them together at annual exhibitions at the art gallery in Montreal and formed a permanent collection documenting old and contemporary crafts. The Guild women combined creativity and philanthropy, voluntarism and an entrepreneurial spirit, education and concern with quality, in a movement that provided income and recognition to craftspeople and a craft legacy to Canada. In Good Hands is alive with the interplay between art and social history, and the issues this dialogue raised at the time and those we bring to it now constantly overlap. It deals with noblesse oblige and the era's patronizing attitude to cultural difference, but shows how the Guild consciously fostered an inclusive national feeling by exhibiting and selling crafts of all Canadians on an equal footing. It also draws a much broader perspective of women's roles in shaping our culture than has been the norm in Canadian art history.
