Extract

As a rule the effort to revive the vanishing art of the people in European countries has met with failure. Popular artistic handicraft is the result of the native material needs of the folk, as well as of their spiritual need for expression in the production of beautiful things. When the life of a tribe which has achieved through the centuries a harmonious equilibrium and unity becomes violently disturbed by outside influences, the chances of preserving the original manual arts are diminished or indeed lost.
