Machinary vs Handicraft's affect upon the arts. Although people regretted the loss of handicraft, most the public didn't really know what sort of work went into the process of manefacture.
Capitalist which controll the market force the people into putting up with poorly made goods, because "the needs of the public are suboardinate to the intrest of the capitalist masters...

The age of "Pure Handicraft" pg 190 the workman worked for himself, then the division of labour came about in the 18th century and there was a loss of skilled labour as each man contributed to a part of a product but didn't understand the process of the whole
The loss of handicraft to machinery is down to capitalist demands, trashy ornamated design, the elemtary design for the peasent man is easier make than the geometric and proportionate designs for the civilized man. Beauty in handicraft is becoming lost to the mass producing machines, if we could have beauty in hand craft in ages of war and turmoil, why not now in this age of peace?
