Considered one of the most prominent actors of the Victorian era,
William Morris (1843-1896) was a poet, artist, designer, and
editor, and did not hesitate to express his socialist political
views, which at the time were frowned upon by the estalishment.His
encounters with Rossetti and Burne-Jones, as well as his religious
studies, made him a man of manifold talents. From this mixture of
genres, William Morris would go on to construct a remarkable
career, applying his ideas through various enterprises he
established under the name of the William Morris Companies,
revolutionizing both interior decorating and architecture. He
quickly understood the advantage of industrial production
techniques, which he used to design his creations. Together with
John Ruskin, he also became a co-founder of the Arts and Crafts
movement. Despite his admiration for Ruskin, he did not hesitate to
publish his own poems in 1858 in his publishing house, Kelmscott
Press.His fascination with the pre-Raphaelite painters lead him to
push aside the canons of English art, and, under the influence of
Ruskin, to launch the rediscovery of the medieval style of
decoration.While drawing tapestries, carpets, glasswork, and other
fine elements of interior decor, he became a fervent defender of
socialism and participated actively in the Socialist Democratic
Federation, which later became known as the Socialist
League.William Morris transformed his dreams and ideals into the
deeds that still inspire our admiration today.Through a series of
illustrations, this work examines the scope of Morriss talent,
which continues to have a major influence on our daily lives today.
