Not on view


This deluxe artists’ book reveals the seriousness with which members of the Tile Club approached their cultural practice. An influential association of leading late nineteenth-century painters, sculptors, illustrators, writers, architects, and designers, the Club expressed its decorative interests in a rhetoric of playful camaraderie. In publications such as this, members detailed their genteel bohemianism and artistic lifestyles, suggesting the importance that professional self-promotion held for the group. This book represents the last major creative collaboration of the Club.
