5.0 out of 5 stars A booklet that is included with the Schramm book, March 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Artist-Blacksmith's Craft (Hardcover)
Julius Schramm, by Hugo Kükelhaus and Julius Schramm

In this little booklet, Hugo Küekelhaus recapitulates the core of Schramm's own essay on the artist-blacksmith's craft-faithful adherence to techniques that exploit and express the natural qualities of forged iron-and Schramm himself follows up with an autobiographical sketch. More than a dozen photos illustrate both Schramm's notion of a disciplined approach that derives from ancient tradition and his own innovations within that tradition. Those innovations have been carried forward by his successors, notably Fritz Kuehn, and have become a part of the contemporary idiom of the craft.

...Schramm reminds us that making objects with integrity of ornament, function and natural expressive of the material is no crime but a rich aesthetic and intellectual experience.

Michael Spencer, Artist-blacksmith, from the postscript
