This, I thought, was influenced by the Arts & Crafts Revolution., Saguaro Forms and Cactus Flowers by Frank Lloyd Wright. It has the handcrafted, intricate detail that the Arts & Craft movement valued. Also it is stained glass.One of the interesting topics we discussed was about the Luddites. It was interesting to see that there were people against the Industrial Revolution. Luddites were anti-technology, wanting things to stay as they are. These people would beat the machines with a bat, which now sounds absurd and almost funny. Thinking about today and how we are always making advances in technology, its hard to think that people were actually against this because the Industrial Revolution brought inventions that we still use today.
One question I had was about the public at this time. Did they prefer what the Industrial Revolution gave them or the products of the Arts & Crafts movement?
