Table of Contents
Rooted in the tradition of early toy makers such s Steiff, Lenci and Kathe Kruse, R. John Wright Dolls' playful and exquisitely crafted figures are recognized throughout the world for their unprecedented level of workmanship and technical sophistication. This first authorized book presents the complete history of the renowned company and is a dual biography of the couple who created it, John and Susan Wright. Noted doll historian Krystyna Poray Goddu, co-author of The Doll by Contemporary Artists and author of A Celebration of Steiff, extensively interviewed the Wrights to tell their personal stories. The resulting narrative chronicles the childhood and teenage years of John and Susan, their meeting in the early 1970s, their deepening commitment to each other and their journey together into the creative collaboration that became R. John Wright Dolls.
The definitive full-color reference to the works produced by the company, R. John Wright: The Art of Toys is a rich exhibition of virtually every piece created in its history. In a collection of critical essays interspersed throughout the book, the author discusses the development and importance of significant creations, and places the works in the context of toy history. A special section takes readers behind the scenes at the R. John Wright Dolls workshop in Cambridge, New York, with never-before-seen pictures detailing the various stages of production.
Filled with hundreds of beautiful images, a compelling story and in-depth reference material, this exciting volume will inform, inspire and enchant all those who appreciate the art of toys.
