Allen H. Eaton: Dean Of American Crafts is the amazing true life story of Allen Eaton (1878-1962), a social worker by training who brought global respect to the crafts produced by the people of southern Appalachia, New England, immigrants, and even the prisoners of Japanese-American relocation camps. Black-and-white photographs enrich this soulful testimony of one man's search for beauty within human creation, and his drive to share that beauty beyond boundaries. A highly recommended and uniquely heartwarming addition to art history and biography.
