Description
The chart is an interactive lineage map. Arts and Crafts movement sits at the center, on a timeline that runs from older movements at the top to newer ones at the bottom. The movements that influenced it appear above it, any parallel movements it developed alongside sit on its own row, and the movements it later influenced appear below. Every line is a real, cited connection between two movements: a solid line is an influence historians broadly agree on, and a dashed line is an indirect, parallel, or contested link.
For Arts and Crafts movement (c. 1880 – 1920), it traces one movement that shaped it, a well-established link: Pre-Raphaelitism; it runs alongside one parallel movement, a well-established link: Jugendstil; it fans out to four movements it went on to influence, all well-established links: Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Mingei and Private Press.
The Arts and Crafts movement was an international trend in the decorative and fine arts that developed earliest and most fully in the British Isles and subsequently spread across the British Empire and to the rest of Europe and North America. Broadly, the beginning of the movement can be dated to the 1880s, with the term itself first used in 1887, and by about 1920 it can be considered as over in the UK, although the term continued in spurious use for various popular elements in design.
