A new edition highlighting the designs and patterns of William Morris
which informed the visual style of the twentieth Century.
William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an
architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott
Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many of us
probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile
designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly
stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions.
William Morris Masterpieces of Art offers a survey of his life and
work alongside some of his finest decorative work.
