Today I'd like to share this short video on the Aesthetic Movement. This dramatically important 30+ year period influenced and altered 20th Century design and art. Unknown to most Americans, it begat the Arts & Crafts Movement in England that quickly emigrated to the United States, becoming a strong influencer of style and design throughout the past century.
The images shown and spaces visited in this video are some of the most sumptuous and decadently beautiful things human-created from the past 200 years, you would be wise to watch it full screen for the most impact.
