Industrial Era Art Works

Industrial Era Art Works

When it comes to deciding how to decorate your home, you may have considered wall art, but are not sure just how you want to bring them into play with your decor.

If you have high-end art taste, the best option is to look to the genius of William Morris from the industrial era. These works are fine art and beautiful skill woven into each design. Additionally, there are a so many of his creations that you will be sure to find one that will suit any decor style or color scheme you have chosen to put into play in your home.

No one can deny that 19th century artist Morris was able to bring any story to life through his artwork. Another fact, beyond denial, is that he chose as his subjects some very epic tales. Consider the quest for the Holy Grail or the story of the Magi. These are just some of the titles that he chose to bring to life through his artistic mastery.

While many think a painting will tell the picture just as well, there is something special about putting these images on your wall in tapestry form. Hiw pieces capture all of the beauty of the artistry as well as adding a soft and lively touch through the use of woven fabric.

While he may have been a man, he had an uncanny ability to capture the spirit of women in his artwork. If you have ever set your eyes on any of the tapestries in his goddess series or Flora or Pomona, you understand what I mean.

This may be why so many people who are looking for a more feminine touch to a home steer towards these works to accomplish that goal. A single of these tapestries on a wall in your home will soften the whole space. In the master bedroom, two or more tapestries are often hung to show this room has the soft yet sensual touches of a woman.

Remember, it's best to hang your tapestries out of direct sunlight, as sun can damage them, but do make sure they are lit properly so they can be appreciated. Tract lighting or targeted lighting should be able to accomplish this.
