The Arts and Crafts Movement was a British, Canadian, Australian, and American aesthetic movement occurring in the last years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century. Inspired by the writings of John Ruskin and a romantic idealization of a craftsperson taking pride in their personal handiwork, it was at its height between approximately 1880 and 1910.

It was a reformist movement that influenced architecture, decorative arts, cabinet making, crafts, and even the "cottage" garden designs of William Robinson or Gertrude Jekyll. Its best-known practitioners were William Morris, Charles Robert Ashbee, T. J. Cobden Sanderson, Elbert Hubbard, Walter Crane, Nelson Dawson, Phoebe Anna Traquair, Herbert Tudor Buckland, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Christopher Dresser, Edwin Lutyens, William De Morgan, Ernest Gimson, William Lethaby, Edward Schroeder Prior, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gustav Stickley, Greene & Greene, Charles Voysey, Christopher Whall, Henry Chapman Mercer, and artists in the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

In the United States, the terms American Craftsman, or Craftsman style are often used to denote the style of architecture, interior design, and decorative arts that prevailed between the dominant eras of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or roughly the period from 1910 to 1925.

In Canada, the term Arts and Crafts predominates, but the term Craftsman is also recognized.

A. Back in the day, you know like the 20th century, it was during this time period that we humans have evolved the most. Brilliant thinkers and renovators were everywhere because there were trying to make profit by using their creativity. The competition was just all around the world. But it was mainly in United States, since the country seemed to have the most resources and the power. So all the things you mentioned are all or most from the United States. But everything that as a beginning has an end, so United States shouldn't produce anymore of these thinkers because people became too comfortable with themselves and stopped adapting became more sedentary, respectively. So there are no more rosy days available in America unless this country… [cont.]
