William Morris (1834-1896) was one of the greatest creative figures
of the 19th century. As a visionary designer, as well as a
manufacturer, writer, artist, and socialist activist, he pioneered
the Arts and Crafts movement of the Victorian era, and left an
extraordinary influence on architecture, textile, and interior
design. This richly illustrated book offers a suitably beautiful
introduction to Morris's colorful life and all aspects of his
design work, including interiors, tiles, embroidery, tapestries,
carpets, and calligraphy. Though best known in his lifetime as a
poet and author, it is these exquisite designs that secured
Morris's posthumous reputation. As page after page dazzles with
their beautiful patterns and forms, we explore the pioneering
craftsmanship and natural motifs that inspired them, as well as
Morris's remarkable cultural legacy, through British textiles,
Bauhaus, and even modern environmentalism. About the series Born
back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the
best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in
TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series features: an introduction to
the life and work of the architect the major works in chronological
order information about the clients, architectural preconditions as
well as construction problems and resolutions a list of all the
selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and
most famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations (photographs,
sketches, drafts, and plans)
