Morris

William Morris, pioneer, multi-talented man, designer, writer, artist and left-wing activist, was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in England as well as the Arts and Crafts movement.

His prolific oeuvre as a designer included works in tile, embroidery, tapestry, wallpaper, carpet and wood.

He used natural dyes, championed the principle that "art is for everyone" and created exquisite patterns and subtly stylised natural forms.
