Krátky popis
A passionate advocate of craftsmanship over mass-production,
William Morris (1834- 1896) designed a huge variety of objects, but
it is his highly original carpet, fabric and wallpaper patterns
that have continued to capture the imagination and exert their
influence on the decorative arts. Around 600 such designs are
attributed to Morris, of which the vast majority are based on
natural forms, including trees, plants and flowers. This
beautifully designed, accessibly priced gift book offers a wealth
of designs by Morris in which flowers are the principal motif,
bringing together not only completed patterns but also working
drawings in pen and watercolour, and examples of his pearwood,
floral-pattern printing blocks.It also explores examples of the
sources that inspired Morris's flower-based designs: his own
gardens at the Red House in Kent, Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire
and elsewhere, 16th- and 17th-century herbals, illuminated medieval
manuscripts, late medieval and Renaissance tapestries, and a range
of decorated objects, particularly from the Islamic world, that
Morris studied at the South Kensington Museum (now the
V&,amp,A). Authored by Rowan Bain, curator at the William
Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, north London, and lavishly
illustrated with almost 100 colour illustrations, this exquisite
book will both inform and delight
