     "E.W. Godwin: Aesthetic Movement Architect and Designer" is the first
     exhibition in this country to examine the prolific career of this
     leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement in Great Britain.  It is
     curated by Susan Weber Soros, founder and director of the Bard
     Graduate Center.  Edward William Godwin (1833-1886) was an architect,
     designer, interior decorator, antiquary, theatrical producer, and
     prominent writer and critic, who embodied the aesthetic conscience of
     Britain between 1865 and 1885.  As one of Britain's leading design
     reformers of the nineteenth century, he was dedicated to addressing
     design issues related to the growing mass market for furniture,
     furnishings, and interior design.  Godwin, an acknowledged leader of
     Britain's cultural elite, shared with his colleagues the desire to
     elevate the taste and aesthetic vision of the British public.
     Godwin's belief in the principle of utility combined with beauty
     translated to a distinctive design aesthetic that combined Gothic,
     Oriental, and vernacular details and constructional elements.  In
     addition to contributing extensively to architecture and the
     decorative arts, Godwin influenced the development of historical
     realism in English theater productions and was one of the first to
     create authentic stage sets, properties, and costumes.  He was a
     leading Victorian intellectual and writer, whose interests extended
     from the ancient Greek home to the reform of the architectural
     profession and the conservation of England's historic buildings.  The
     exhibition consists of more than 150 examples of Godwin's
     architectural drawings, designs for the decorative arts, and
     interiors, furniture, ceramics, tiles, metalwork, wallpaper, and
     textiles.  The objects have been loaned from major museums in this
     country and abroad and from private collections in the United States,
     England, and Germany.
