William Morris at Home

Lecturer: Joanna Banham 

William Morris considered a beautiful home to be the most important production of Art and much of his working life was devoted to the making of household goods intended to bring art and beauty into the home.  In his own homes - Red House in Bexleyheath, Kelmscott House in Hammersmith, and finally Kelmscott Manor, he created interiors that exemplified his ideas about art and design. This lecture explores not only the decoration, but also the relationships and lifestyles associated with each of these very different homes.
