在售畅销书的修订版。威廉•莫里斯(William Morris)是一位集许多才华于一身的杰出人物,是建筑师、作家、社会活动家、艺术家,因为他的凯尔姆斯科特出版社(Kelmscott Press),他还是手工艺运动的重要人物。但是,我们许多人最了解他可能是因为他精湛的家具和纺织品设计。继同一系列的《新艺术运动》、《装饰艺术》和《阿方斯•穆查》大获成功之后,这本令人愉悦的新书对他的生平和工作进行了概述,并列举了他最出色的装饰作品。这是一本非常美丽的书。
Revised edition of the bestselling backlist title. 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. Following on from the bestselling success of Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Alphonse Mucha, of the same series, this delightful new book offers a survey of his life and work alongside some of his finest decorative work. It is a richly beautiful book.
