Crane's astonishingly diverse body of work challenged the establishment, artistically and politically. In this original and carefully researched new study, Morna O'Neill presents a fascinating portrait of an artist who used his talent and energy to dismantle the traditional boundaries between fine art and decorative art, between elite and popular, between art and propaganda. Crane's enduring influence is felt on many levels, and significant new research in this book uncovers the magnificent breadth of his artistic practice. The finest book illustrator of the Victorian era, he revolutionized that field. Inspired by John Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites, he was central to the development of Aestheticism in England and, later, Symbolism in Europe. A friend and associate of William Morris, his work embodied Arts and Crafts ideals 600 10 Crane, Walter,|d1845-1915|xCriticism and interpretation 600 10 Crane, Walter,|d1845-1915|xPolitical and social views 600 17 Crane, Walter,|d1845-1915|xanalys och tolkning 600 17 Crane, Walter,|d1845-1915|xpolitiska och sociala åsikter 650 0 Aesthetic movement (Art)|zGreat Britain 650 0 Arts and crafts movement|zGreat Britain 650 0 Socialism and art|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y19th century 650 7 Socialism och konst|xhistoria|zStorbritannien|y1800-talet |2sao 650 7 Estetik|xhistoria|zStorbritannien|y1800-talet|2sao 700 1 Crane, Walter,|d1845-1915 907 00 120816
