A true Renaissance man, William Morris mastered every art and craft to which he set his hand, revelling in designs, patterns, colours and textures, and placing his stamp on sumptuous books, rugs, embroidery, wallpaper, stained glass, tapestries, curtains and furniture. The patterns and designs drawn together here show both the nuances and breadth of William Morris's visions, combining intricacy and simplicity; alternatingly dramatic and demure, dark and light, curved and angular, in a virtual dance of superb interwoven shapes.

Black & White, NOT color,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: William Morris: Patterns & Designs (International Design Library) (Paperback)
I can't say that the description of the book is misleading, but more details or a preview would certainly have been helpful. This book is entirely black & white and, in some places, looks like they aren't reproductions, but that someone traced over an original. Lots of close-up details and very few full-size images. I was hoping for images I could frame, but it's not possible with this book. It's much more geared to someone doing embroidery, cross-stitch, or stencils.

I have done a workshop with Michele Hill and have become hooked on William Morris fabrics and designs. I bought this book as an indulgence to feed my passion. A beautful book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: William Morris: Patterns & Designs (International Design Library) (Paperback)
This is one case where I did not read the reviews before purchasing, but the description is definitely not clear enough - it is indeed black and white only, and some appear to be photocopies multiple times over. The designs are outlines of drawings, meant probably for people doing crafty type activities, not for the serious student of William Morris (who was the intended recipient of this gift).
