Forest Tapestry Indigo WM114
Hare from the Forest tapestry. William Morris was a British textile designer, artist, novelist, printer and activist associated with the British Arts and Crafts Movement. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." William Morris' use of birds and animals in his early tapestries is a forebear to his later carpet patterns. This design, one of his most successful compositions, uses a dense cover of trailing acanthus leaves, as seen in his first tapestry 'Acanthus and Vine', into which have been placed Philip Webb's five studies of animals and birds.
