ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Rebellious artists and designers search for beauty in an age of industry in “Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts & Crafts Movement.” These artists challenged the new industrial world and looked to the art of the past for inspiration, reasserting the value of the handmade over the dehumanizing sterility of mass production in 19th-century England. Victorian Radicals presents an unprecedented 150 paintings, drawings, sculptures, stained glass, jewelry, sculpture, textiles, and decorative arts—many never before exhibited outside of the United Kingdom. See vibrant works by the major figures associated with the subversive Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the later Arts & Crafts Movement.
