Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This anthology contains significant writings on the theory of the decorative arts from the mid-18th century to the 1940s. It offers a history of decorative art as it emerged in the west, and reconstructs the debates over how to define this type of art and distinguish it from fine art.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 371-379) and index.
