Wharton Esherick: Synthesizing Art, Design, Crafts, Architecture
Wharton Esherick is considered the godfather of the Studio Furniture Movement and inventor of Art Furniture. Esherick (1887-1970) was a visionary who synthesized art, design, craft, and architecture. He focused on merging life and craftsmanship in rural Paoli, Pennsylvania, while the rest of the world was captured by the power of the machine in revolutionizing modern life. This program explores Esherick’s legacy, influence, and impact on the story of modern design in America. A screening of the
