Lecture by Cleota Reed
We thought our readers would be very interested in this upcoming presentation with the Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York. The lecture by Cleota Reed will explore Irene Sargent’s unique partnership with Gustav Stickley and examine The Craftsman magazine’s critical Syracuse years. Irene Sargent, writer, critic, teacher, and quite possibly the instigator of The Craftsman, carved out a unique spot in the history of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. Distinguished from other key figures in the movement who were mostly makers involved with design reform, she was instead a historian of art, architecture, and the decorative arts. She was a very important find for Stickley, who needed an expert to articulate his ideas.
