William Morris

For my new work, I selected William Morris and I will present you this artist and designer.

I cannot describe William Morris better than this Web site it has a society dedicated to him, with his biography. Therefore if you want to learn more about Morris (life, works, …) enter in this sitehttp://www.morrissociety.org/.

Therefore, I'll just talk here's my opinion, making reference to one or other of life, ideologies and work of William Morris.

William Morris, XIX century (1834-1896), an artist, a designer, a leading opponent of the industrial revolution, a developer of the Movement of Art & Craft.

Knowing the history (space, location) that lived in Morris, I can understand the concern he had for that Art does not "fall" into a mechanized concept. He appreciated and encouraged the Art manual, custom, sometimes a unique Art.

Around of the 60s (this XIX century), Morris founded a firm with more other persons of British Art. This company produced works of art, like: Stained glass, textiles and wallpaper Printed, Woven Textiles,Embroideryand Tapestry. Are some of those jobs that can be seen here, and I see that my opinion as an art careful with technique, single ...

To think that Art should or must be for everyone, he did not think the fact that works of art took the time and costed money, his time, meant that the pieces of art proved to be expensive. He had to admit that.

These are some works of Morris.

Morris brought a shift upon another change. In other words, Morris managed to halt the trend of the industrial revolution, creating a diverse Art, but a standard personal and unique.

Morris was a great proportion designer, since he advocated the creation of valuable artist's imagination. The artist imagines and creates, produces and understands the industry. And, therefore, that was why I chose to speak about William Morris.
