Description
Walter Crane was a pioneering British artist who transformed the illustration of children's books with his bold style and vivid characters. His work continues to inspire artists and designers today. Crane's art and politics developed from his childhood love of Pre-Raphaelite painting, influenced by progressive thinkers like William Morris. This book tells the story of how Crane blended styles and influences to create a unique artistic vision. Distinguished biographer Jenny Uglow expertly narrates this fascinating study, revealing an artist who was both a craftsman and a visionary.
