 | | From November 17, 1999 through February 27, 2000, The Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts will present "E.W. Godwin: Aesthetic Movement Architect and Designer," the first exhibition and catalogue to examine the prolific career of the leading architect and designer of the British Aesthetic Movement. |
 | | Born in 1833, E.W. Godwin was a friend and colleague of such leading artists as Oscar Wilde and James Whistler, and he shared with them the desire to elevate the aesthetic vision of the British public. |
 | | The Bard Graduate Center exhibition features approximately 150 examples of Godwin's architectural drawings, drawings for the decorative arts and interiors, furniture, ceramics, tiles, metalwork, wallpaper, and textiles, loaned from major museums in England, Paris, and the United States and from private collections in the USA and Europe. |
