Detailed commentary for each work

This book discusses how major artists over the past five centuries have approached wallpaper design. From Dürer, who conceived his designs as seriously as fine woodcuts, to William Morris, who believed that wallpaper, like all good design, should change our lives, to Andy Warhol, whose fascination with multiple images inspired a brilliant parody of the wallpaper tradition, the artists represented here reveal the rich complexity inherent in the art of patterns and forms that make up wallpaper design. Among the 75 painters, illustrators, and architects are the Pre-Raphaelites Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, architects Charles Voysey and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Art Nouveau artists Hector Guimard, Alphonse Mucha, Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Nabis Maurice Denis, Josef Hoffmann and Dagobert Peche of the Wiener Werkstätte, Piet Mondrian of De Stijl, architects Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, and 20th-century artists Raoul Dufy, Sonia Delaunay, Vanessa Bell, Charles Burchfield, René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Alexander Calder, Henri Matisse, and Saul Steinberg.
After reading this book, you will never think of wallpaper as a neutral background again.
