Applied arts, implied art

"What is the meaning of craftsmanship in the era of digital production? ?Applied Arts as Implied Art? is a critical reflection on artistic creativity and its cultural significance today. In the light of a confrontation between the art theory of Aloïs Riegl and Frank Lloyd Wright, the essay debates the role of technology in craftsmanship and its impact on artmaking. . . the author proposes a contemporary interpretation of applied arts as implied art, a form of art between fine art and design that describes human life, its experiences and the occasional poverty thereof."--P. 4 of cover.
