All this may lead us to think that there are no means of achieving such magnificent art today. This course will highlight a line of transcendent inspiration that runs throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. We will find a common thread that begins with material from the craftsmen’s guilds, which Viollet-le-Duc made use of to restore a significant number of mediaeval French buildings, and continues with the ideas of Utopian Socialismand the Arts & Crafts movement. We will consider the important role played in this process by Antoni Gaudí,Art Nouveau and the development of the Bauhaus,completing our overview with a look at the prolific work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
