GUSTAV STICKLEY: AMERICAN CRAFTSMAN – Review by Lois Alter Mark

For people who love furniture and design or just want to learn more about them, Gustav Stickley: American Craftsman is a must-see. Considered the founder of the American Arts and Crafts Movement, Stickley was born in Wisconsin in 1858. Although he had very little formal education, he was responsible for an entirely new approach to furniture and many of his guiding principles are as relevant today as they were more than a century ago.
