Explanation:

William Morris (1834-1896) was the main leader of the Arts and Crafts movement.

As a painter, writer and militant socialist, Morris tries to combine Ruskin's theses with Marx's, in defense of an art "made by the people and for the people"; The idea is for the worker to become an artist and to give aesthetic value to the disqualified work of industry. With Morris, the concept of fine art is rejected in the name of the ideal of medieval guilds, where the artisan designs and executes the work in an environment of collective production.

Several societies and associations are created based on Morris's direct intervention. In 1861, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. was founded, specializing in furniture and decoration in general: linings, glass, silverware, tapestries etc. The company's success can be gauged by its extensive and long-lasting production. Dissolved in 1874, it makes its mark, whether in Morris standards for wallpapers (Pimpernel, 1876) and in those designed by A.H. Mackmurdo (1851-1942) - The Cromer Bird, 1884; be it in the graphic works of Walter Crane (1845-1915), pioneer of popular publishing (remember that Crane and Burne-Jones illustrate several books for Kelmscott Press, publisher founded in 1890 by Morris, which values ancient forms and printing techniques).

In 1871, the S. Jorge Guild, designed by Morris, represents yet another attempt to combine art teaching and a new form of work organization. This experience is fruitful in others, such as the Art Workers Guild (1884) and the Crafts Guild (1888). Still in 1888, the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society - quadrennial exhibition of furniture, upholstery, upholstery and furniture, held in London - brings together works by various supporters of the movement. In addition to Morris and Crane, architects and designers Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1942) were present at the show, responsible for several residences of the time, for jewelry making and editorial work at the Essex House Press, inspired by Kelmscott Press; also architect and designer Charles F. Annesley Voysey (1857-1941), famous for his simple and modest houses, for his textiles and wallpapers; the architect and researcher of medieval building techniques William Richard Lethaby (1857-1931), among others.
