Book Description

New York: Parkstone International, 2007. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. Photographs. Through his eclecticism, William Morris (1834-1896) was one of the most emblematic personalities of the 19th century. Painter, architect, poet and engineer, wielding the quill as well as the brush, he jolted Victorian society by discarding standards established by triumphant industry. His commitment to the writing of the Socialist Manifesto was the logical result of the revolution he personified with his habitat, the form of his design and the colors he used. Forerunner of 20th century designs, he co-founded with John Ruskin the Arts and Crafts movement. As an independent man, William Morris led the way to Art Nouveau and later Bauhaus. Through the essential body of his written and visual work, Arthur Clutton-Brock's masterwork depicts the narrow relationship between ideals and creation, as well as between evolution and revolution. 255 pages with bibliography and list of illustrations; profusely illustrated in full color. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
