Description
This book, celebrating Shaker art and life, is the work of a remarkable young artist who has lived and worked for two years at the Shaker Village in Canterbury, New Hampshire. In more than 250 drawings, whose purity of line embodies the spirit of the artifacts themselves, June Sprigg shows us the beautiful things the Shakers made. Her narrative…reveals how they lived, and the beliefs and feelings from which their art was derived.
