Sidney D. Gamble Lecture Series Presents Pioneers of Modernism: Arts and Crafts in Australia

Author/professor Harriet Edquist discusses how the Australian Arts and Crafts movement set the stage for Modernism in Australia on September 30, 2014.
The popular Sidney D. Gamble Lecture Series, now in its 16th year, offers thought-provoking lectures and introduces the public to prominent experts, author and historians who have special insight into, not just the Arts and Crafts Movement, but the nature of bringing architecture and art into daily living.

Dr. Edquist will explore how the architectural style was influenced by similar movements around the world, especially noting the resonance between the California bungalow and Australia’s version of that classical style.
