Description

William Morris's Flowers offers a unique insight into the designs that played a central role in his work. The Arts and Crafts Movement leader was renowned for his passion for craftsmanship, and his flower-based motifs are some of his most enduring creations. This beautifully designed gift book explores the origins of Morris's floral designs, tracing their roots to his own gardens, medieval manuscripts, and objects from the Islamic world. Lavishly illustrated with over 100 color images, it provides a wealth of inspiration for anyone interested in the decorative arts. Authored by Rowan Bain, senior curator at the William Morris Gallery, this book is a valuable resource for designers, artists, and anyone fascinated by the work of one of Britain's most celebrated designers.
