Morris的设计目的是复兴旧时代风格,但否定装饰过度的维多利亚风格。采用清新自然的植物元素,
运用生动曼妙的绘画手法和古典柔和的色彩,并且强调密集饱满的构图形式,直至今天都是图案界
的“圣经”。 Morris也造就了一个全新的图案风格“Morris纹样风格”。今天,我们来聊聊我们熟知的
Morris经典图案之一 Willow Boughs柳枝图案。
Willow Boughs
柳枝
one of Morris&Company's iconic designs,Willow Boughs,was inspired by an afterno
-on walk taken by William Morris and his younger daughter, May along alittle
stream close to the banks of the river Thames at Kelmscott Manor.From late April
to early October,Morris and May frequentlytravelled to Kelmscott to enjoy the
manor and surrounding countryside.
Morris&Co.公司的标志性设计之一,Willow Boughs柳枝,灵感来源于William Morris和他的
小女儿May在凯尔斯科特庄园泰晤士河岸边的一条小溪边散步。每年从四月下旬到十月上旬Morris
和May经常去凯尔姆斯科特享受庄园和周围的环境乡村。
During a three day stay in September 1887 Morris is quoted as saying:"I had thatde
-lightful quickening of perception by which everything gets emphasised andbrightened
and the commonest landscape looks lovely:anxieties and worriesthough remembered,yet
no weight on one's spirits-Heaven in short."
在1887年9月,Morris在这里住了三天,他说:“我有一种特别令人愉快的感觉,通过这种感知,
一切都变得更加突出、明亮,最普通的风景也变得特别美丽。虽然还是会有焦虑和忧愁的感觉,
但是一个人的灵魂仿佛没有了重量,换句话说,那就是天堂。”
Subsequently in 1895,the year before his death,WilliamMorris's Willow Boughs
pattern was adapted at Merton Abbey for a printedtextile,although Morris neither
endorsed nor approved the use of matchingtextiles and wallpapers in the same room.
随后,在William Morris去世前一年,1895年,他在默顿大教堂将柳枝图案改为印花纺织品,尽管
Morris一如既往地不赞同在同一房间使用相同图案的纺织品和墙纸搭配。
The Thames
泰晤士河
泰晤士河从温莎镇和伊顿镇之间穿过后,很快就进入了伦敦,从市区中央流过。对于伦敦这座历史
名城的诞生、成长和繁荣,泰晤士河都起到了不可替代的作用。沿岸有丰富的历史古迹及英格兰最
漂亮的乡间景色,如同一幅旖旎的淡彩画、恬静、细腻、富有诗意、舒朗、平静、充满韵味,值得
你细细品味。沿着河岸前行,呼吸着清新的空气,吹着清爽的小凉风,听着潺潺的流水声,有什么
比这更惬意呢~似乎每一个毛孔都散发着欢快和愉悦。Willow Boughs柳枝就是反映泰晤士河附近
庄园的轻松惬意的生活。
