William Morris Davis

Extractions: Personal Life History - William Morris Davis was born in Philadelphia, Pa., on February 12, 1850. He died in Pasadena, CA., on February 5, 1934. He was the son of Edward M. Davis and Martha Mott Davis, who were both members of the Society of Friends. His father a Philadelphia businessman, was expelled from the society for enlisting in the Union army during the civil war. His mother was the daughter of Lucretia Mott an early and strenuous worker for women's rights and a firm antagonist of slavery. His mother resigned her post on the society shortly after the expulsion of her husband from the group. In 1879 Davis married Ellen B. Warner of Springfield Massachusetts. After her death he married Mary M. Wyman of Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1914. After her death he married Lucy L. Tennant of Milton, Massachusetts in 1928. She miraculously survived him. Academic History - Davis' contributions cover the separate field of geography, geology, and meteorology. He had an emphasis throughout his career on education in both the high school level as well as the college level. Davis' most influential concept was the "cycle of erosion". He worked on refining and detailing this concept for most of his professional career. Many of his early publications layed the foundation for this concept but it is the essay "the rivers of pennsylvania,1889" where he first states and defines the concept. It is clear that Davis was influenced by Darwin's organic evolution theory. In a 1883 writing he states "it seems most probable, that the many pre-existent streams in each river basin concentrated their water in a single channel of overflow, and that this one channel survives- a fine example of natural selection."

Extractions: Before the uprising of modern But besides these contented ones there were others who were not really contented, but had a vague sentiment of repulsion to the triumph of civilisation, but were coerced into silence by the measureless power of Whiggery. Lastly there were a few who were in open rebellion against the said Whiggery-a few, say two, Carlyle and Ruskin. The latter, before my days of practical Socialism, was my master towards the ideal aforesaid, and, looking backward, I cannot help saying, by the way, how deadly dull the world would have been twenty years ago but for Ruskin! It was through him that I learned to give form to my discontent, which I must say was not by any means vague. Apart from the desire to produce beautiful things, the leading passion of my life has been and is hatred of modern civilisation. What shall I say of it now, when the words are put into my mouth, my hope of its destruction-what shall I say of its supplanting by Socialism?

However, Morris's great awakening came through his readings of John Ruskin , whose ideas on aestheticism and social progress he gradually adopted. In 1856, after being apprenticed to an architect, Morris attached himself to the brotherhood of

Extractions: Fine Art paintings and giclees of Canadian and American Still Lifes, landscapes and street scenes. Latest Paintings Scenes of Ontario Scenes of Quebec Scenes of Nova Scotia ... Giclee Limited Editions William Edward Morris ( Canadian) was born in Montreal and raised in Montreal's Outremont neighborhood. The stately architecture which abounds this historic and venerable part of the city had an early and profound effect on the artist, as is in evidence in his paintings' portrayal of inner city life. In his formative years, Morris studied at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts (Montreal) under one of the renowned "Group of Seven" Canadian artists Arthur Lismer. In secondary school in Montreal he was greatly influenced by the famous Canadian artist Anne Douglas Savage. Morris later went on to a notable and longstanding career as a professional Architect and practiced for many years. Having combined his own feelings of the inner city with interpretations of today's and yesteryear's nostalgia he has accomplished a unique style which is evident in his paintings. Morris' paintings are a blend of impressionism and realism. His work reveals a keen insight into the elements of architecture and life's daily place within its context. They reveal scenes of Canadian and American cities embracing both pastoral and bustling city urban environment. Recently Morris has developed a love of painting garden scenes which he calls "gardenscapes". These paintings are either oils or acrylics on canvas or masonite. Morris has traveled extensively and spent much of his time painting Canadian and American scenes.

William Morris - A Brief Biography
A brief biography of william morris, one of our greatest designers.
http://www.bethrussellneedlepoint.com/William-Morris.htm

Extractions: We decorate our rooms with his wallpapers and fabrics and we have grown to agree with his political views on the equality of women, the preservation of our national heritage and, very specially, the guarding of our open spaces. He truly was a "green" man, way ahead of his time. Morris felt as deeply about the quality of design as he did about the quality of life and believed that the two were intrinsically entwined. In all of his work he constantly strove to use natural materials and to encourage people to make things for themselves; as an ardent socialist he wanted workers to experience a joy in labour and preached for free education and an eight hour day. He was horrified by the dehumanising industrialisation sweeping across the world. In 1861, with a group of talented friends (amongst them Edward Burne-Jones, Philip Webb and Dante Gabriel Rossetti) William Morris started a company dedicated to producing beautiful hand crafted furnishings and furniture. His first wallpapers date from this time, including Trellis and Fruit. He proceeded to acquire an amazing list of skills. His fabric printing required him to learn the art of carving for the wooden blocks, as well as natural dyeing, a technique which had disappeared and took him many years to rediscover and to perfect; Strawberry Thief is an excellent example of his achievement. We can see his exquisite drawing and water colour skills in the design for African Marigold, now at the William Morris Gallery.
William Morris Arts And Crafts In Cumbria
A brief biography of william morris, and details of the various arts and crafts workmanship by morris and Company in Cumbria (the Lake District).
http://www.visitcumbria.com/wmorris.htm

Extractions: William Morris (1834-1896) was born in Walthamstow, Essex, the son of a wealthy city stockbroker. He was educated at Marlborough public school, then went to Oxford, where he met Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) and Philip Webb (1831-1915), both of whom became lifelong friends. Both Morris and Burne-Jones intended entering the Church, but they gained inspiration from the writings of John Ruskin , and decided they wanted to become artists. Ruskin saw the work of Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood as 'the dawn of a new era of art'. After leaving university, Morris spent the years between 1856 and 1861 pursuing various careers, including training under George Street as an architect. Through Burne-Jones, he also met Rossetti and other Pre-Raphaelite painters. Encouraged by Rossetti, Morris turned from architecture to painting, and was at the same time writing poetry. In 1859 he married Jane Burden, the archetypal Pre-Raphaelite beauty with brooding eyes, who appears in several of Rossetti's paintings. Early in their marriage they moved into 'Red House' in Bexleyheath, Kent, which had been designed for them by Philip Webb. They created murals, carvings, stained glass, metal work, embroidery and furniture. Their success was mainly due to Morris and Webb's associations with architects, church decoration being their most important activity.
Nature Inspired Art

http://members.aol.com/Art1234567/Nature.html

Extractions: William Morris was born in England in 1934. He was an artist who designed wallpaper, fabric, rugs, and many other types of things that decorate a home. All his designs have something in common. They all were inspired by the beautiful patterns and colors in nature. Let's take a look at some of his work. The artwork at the top of this page is a design for wallpaper. You can see that William Morris loved flowers. He often filled his pictures with flower stems and leaves that twist and twirl across the design. In this wallpaper design he added flower blossoms. Sometimes he added birds and fruit. He used his imagination when choosing colors. Notice that many of the leaves in these designs are colored blue.

Extractions: Philbrook Museum of Art Tulsa, OK www.philbrook.org Front of Museum, photo by John Hazeltine Museum Gardens, photo by John Hazeltine William Morris: Myth, Object and the Animal June 10 - August 19, 2001 W illiam Morris connects us with our past - when nature provided a theater for drama. With fire as his tool, Morris uses glass to communicate a magical transformation, pushing his materials beyond their physical and chemical properties. Bone? Wood? Stone? Leather? William Morris creates works of art in glass that have the optical equivalence of these. The exhibition includes twenty individual sculptures and two large installations created in the past two decades. Illustrating his uncanny ability to manipulate blown glass into something it really is not, Morris pushes the limit of glass blowing, the most fragile and seductive of mediums. His mesmerizing sculptures require extraordinary technical skills that seem beyond the physical and chemical possibilities of glass. These outwardly effortless accomplishments are the result of tremendous skill and a lifetime of experimentation, coupled with his true love of nature. Morris uses the delicate medium of glass to recreate life-size black ravens and handsome deer heads that reflect archaeology and the animal. "Morris's works are not flashy, as are many pieces created in glass, but more quietly beautiful, with their opaque, sensual surfaces. A luminous color seems to glow within each piece as if it were some sort of life force or blood coursing through," states Patricia Watkinson in her introduction to the exhibition catalogue. His work invites the visitor to look at the ever-widening gap between contemporary culture, which focuses on technology and progress, and our primitive beginnings, shaped by the forces of nature and myth.

http://architecture.about.com/library/bl-morris.htm

Extractions: W illiam Morris' work had a profound influence on modern and contemporary arts. Although best known as a designer of wall coverings, stained glass, carpets and tapestries, he was also a painter, poet, political publisher, typeface designer and furniture-maker. Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti met at university and formed a group of young men known as the Brotherhood or the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. They shared a love of poetry, the middle ages and Gothic architecture. They read the writings of John Ruskin and gained an appreciation for Gothic architecture and an enthusiasm for its revival through him. The three friends painted frescoes together at the Oxford Union in 1857. In 1861, Morris established "the Firm" which would later become Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. Although Morris, Burne-Jones and Rossetti were the most important designers and decorators, most of the Pre-Raphaelites were involved in designing for the company. The talents of the firm were rounded out with the skills of architect Philip Webb and painter Ford Madox Brown who designed furniture and stained glass. The company specialized in stained glass, carving, furniture, wallpaper, carpets and tapestries. One of the most exquisite tapestries produced by the company was

Extractions: Page from The Glittering Plain Famous as the founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement . He was born in Walthamstow, then a village, and moved to a grand residence there called Water House at the age of 14 - this has since become the William Morris Gallery . He studied at Oxford with the intention of becoming a clergyman, but while there he met Edward Coley Burne-Jones , also studying for the church, and they both began to turn towards art. They were persuaded by Rossetti to give up the studies and become artists. Morris did a year in architectural practice of G. E. Street , and then turned to painting. However, he soon found that his metier was design. The cooperative attempt to decorate his new house (the Red House, built by Philip Webb ) at Bexleyheath, south east of London, lead to the setting up of the firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Co. The partners were Morris, Burne-Jones, Rossetti Ford Madox Brown Philip Webb , Charles Faulkner, and Peter Paul Marshall, a surveyor. The firm was set up as a 'company of Fine Art Workmen', designing and producing (or at least supervising the production of) furniture, wallpaper, murals, tapestrywork, stained glass windows, metalwork, tapestries, and smaller works such as tiles and embroidery. It started in 8 Lion Square, London, where there was sufficient space for workshops, showrooms, and a kiln in the basement for tile production. The firm later became simply Morris and Co. when Morris - always blessed with a private income - bought out the other partners.
