Art Applied to Industry: A Series of Lectures is a book written by William Burges and originally published in 1865. The book consists of a series of lectures given by Burges, an influential British architect and designer, on the importance of art in industry. Burges argues that art should not be limited to the realm of fine arts but should also be applied to industry to enhance the quality and beauty of everyday objects.The book covers a range of topics related to the application of art in industry, including the history of art in industry, the role of design in manufacturing, and the importance of craftsmanship in producing high-quality goods. Burges also discusses the relationship between art and technology, arguing that advances in technology should be used to enhance rather than replace traditional craftsmanship.Throughout the book, Burges emphasizes the importance of beauty and quality in everyday objects, arguing that well-designed and well-crafted objects can enhance our lives and bring joy and pleasure to our daily routines. He also stresses the importance of education and training in developing skilled craftsmen and designers who can create beautiful and functional objects.Art Applied to Industry: A Series of Lectures is a seminal work in the history of design and remains relevant today for its insights into the relationship between art, industry, and society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of design, the role of art in society, or the importance of craftsmanship in manufacturing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
