William Morris: Arts and Crafts Designs 2011 Wall Calendar

About This Item

A principal founder of Britain’s Arts and Crafts movement—which valued handcraftsmanship over manufactured goods—William Morris (1834–1896) was also a writer of poetry and fiction, a founder of the socialist movement in England, and a designer of typefaces, fabrics, and wallpaper. The gorgeous floral and foliate wallpaper designs in this calendar were selected from sample books of William Morris and Company owned by the Brooklyn Museum. Morris’s combinations of colors and use of ornate forms attest to the incredible talent of this most accomplished artist.
