In A Theory of Craft, Howard Risatti examines these issues by comparing handmade ceramics, glass, metalwork, weaving, and furniture to painting, sculpture, photography, and machine-made design from Bauhaus to the Memphis Group. He describes craft as uniquely blending function with a deeper expression of human values that transcend culture, time, and space. Craft must articulate a role for itself in contemporary society, says Risatti; otherwise it will be absorbed by fine art or design, and its singular approach to understanding the world will be lost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46053840191567,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1398.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781469600901","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
