The Aesthetic Movement Comes to America: Art for Art’s Sake and the House Beautiful Introduced at the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition

A reprise of Adrienne Bogg's wonderful presentation exploring of the stylistic elements of Aesthetic transferware in "The Aesthetic Movement Comes to America: Art for Art’s Sake and the House Beautiful Introduced at the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition." Adrienne shared this fascinating look at the Aesthetic Movement and its expression on British transferware at our in-person annual meeting in Philadelphia in April. It was very well received, and we then asked her to share it with a wider group of our members at the October virtual meeting.
