✦内容简介——

介绍威廉·莫里斯个人收藏的世界艺术品以及它们如何影响他的制版艺术。

威廉莫里斯是工艺美术运动的主要创始人之一，他设计了数百种墙纸、织物、挂毯和地毯图案，这些图案是 19 世纪后期的标志性作品，至今仍产生着影响。现在人们普遍认为，他的艺术创作受到他对伊朗、叙利亚和土耳其的刺绣、机织天鹅绒、丝绸、地毯和金属制品的熟悉程度的刺激，他一生都在收集这些东西。

从流行的 19 世纪旅游商品到具有历史意义的稀有文物，莫里斯的收藏证明了全球艺术传统的相互联系，以及承认不同文化对其设计和工艺演变的贡献具有持久的重要性。这本图文并茂的出版物从不同的角度阐述了莫里斯在当代殖民收藏辩论中所扮演的角色在博物馆环境中的代表性以及英国工艺美术和世界艺术领域的贡献者的文化挪用问题。

An introduction to William Morris's personal collection of artworks from the Islamic world and how they came to influence his pattern-making

One of the principal founders of the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris was responsible for hundreds of patterns for wallpapers, fabrics, tapestries, and carpets that are iconic of the late nineteenth century and continue to resonate today. It is now widely acknowledged that his artistic production was stimulated by his deep familiarity with embroideries, woven velvets, silks, carpets, and metalwork from Iran, Syria, and Turkey, which he collected throughout his lifetime.

Ranging from popular nineteenth-century tourist merchandise to rare artefacts of historical significance, Morris's collection is a testament to the interconnectedness of global artistic traditions and the enduring importance of recognising the contributions of various cultures to the evolution of his design and craftsmanship. This highly illustrated publication offers diverse perspectives in contextualising Morris's role within contemporary debates around colonial collecting, Islam's representation in the museum context, and issues of cultural appropriation from contributors within the field of British Arts and Crafts and Art from the Islamic world.
