Wall Decor Tapestry Hangings from William Morris

William Morris was a renowned artist of the 1800's. He is considered the father of the Arts and Crafts Movement which reviled modern technology in favor of hands on creation. He believed part of true art comes from actual human handcrafting and that mechanized mass production took the value out of it.

William Morris participated in many facets of the arts, being himself a writer, architect, painter, and designer. He was also a socialist, which is surprising when you think of the art such as stained glass, rugs, and other designs that he created for wealthy clients. He even wrote books, verse, and lectured on socialism.
