William Morris Willow Flower Classic Green Notitieboek

William Morris’s "Willow" (1874) is a quintessential example of his floral designs, showcasing the intricate beauty of nature through the lens of the Arts and Crafts Movement. This textile design is centered around a stylized willow tree, its slender branches and elongated leaves forming a rhythmic, almost hypnotic pattern. The natural elements of the willow are harmoniously intertwined with graceful lines, creating a fluid and flowing composition. The color scheme is dominated by soft greens, browns, and muted blues, capturing the serenity and natural beauty of the willow tree in a balanced and timeless manner. Morris’s signature approach emphasizes craftsmanship, simplicity, and an organic connection to nature, making "Willow" a perfect representation of his artistic philosophy.
