Born in London, John Ruskin is mainly known for his magnificent work in the field of art, literature and architecture. A fervent art critic, Ruskin is also remembered for his ideas of socialism and immense contribution towards promoting Gothic architecture. He gained popularity as a social critic and a poet in the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
William Morris was an English architect, furniture and textile designer, artist, writer, socialist and Marxist associated with Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the English Arts and Craft Movement. Morris wrote and published poetry, fiction, and translations of ancient and medieval texts throughout his life. His best-known works include The Defence of Geunevere and Other Poems (1958 ), The Earthly Paradise ( 1868-1870 ), A Dream of John Ball and utopian news from the Socialist League in 1984, but breaking with the movement over goals and methods by the end of the decade.

The design based on flora and fauna...which is look like mirror ornament. The Indian textile also push on folra and fauna and reflection style.I love the beautiful nature inspired wallpaper designs by William Morris. William Morris which is associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement. The Arts and Crafts Movement was a British, Canadian, and American aesthetic movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries that influenced arts, crafts and architecture. The Arts and Crafts Movement was inspired by the writings of John Ruskin and a romantic idealization of a craftsperson taking pride in their personal handiwork. The movement was a reaction to the eclectic revival of historic styles of the Victorian era and to “soulless” machine-made production aided by the Industrial Revolution.

What i understand from art & nouveau is....it was an artistic creation, which is combining the thinking and craft.They talk about process but not on the product and also the movement.The joy of work will u feel it when u adore it.It so cool if today we gather with the designers to talk about the movement, the art and more rather than talk about artis( uppsss..i did it..~! )But, working environment today i think there is lack of joy of work....work have been done based on requirement...but no u are enjoying to do that.When u're not fell the design movement( cmne nk ckp..kalau kita tak dibenarkan utk melontarkan idea2 kita--hehehee..in Malay lak ) we will not fell the ENJOYMENT.References....
