Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Books on artists can be little better than picture books at times, but this volume highlighted how Voysey's world-view, philosophy, and personality expressed itself through his work. It was well produced and illustrated, and an enjoyable read and I'll certainly keep my eye out for more books from this publisher.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.This is a beautifully produced book from cover to cover, with fascinating photos at each opening. I had never heard of Charles Voysey before reading this book; somehow in my mind the British Arts and Crafts Movement began and ended with William Morris and his associates, with maybe a bit of Mackintosh.

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Wow, is the first thing you think when you see this book. The cover is stunningly beautiful and fortunately the writing is equally appealing. This is book is a great primer on C. F. A. Voysey, whom I never heard of previously but am interested in learning more about due to this book.

The book is illustrated throughout in colour and black and white, over 65 colour illustrations, mostly up to full page in size show architectural designs, textile and wallpaper designs. There are also a number of line drawings and several photographs. The book includes note to the text and a bibliography, but there is no index.
This is a beautifully produced book, and much care and thought has clearly gone into its design. The sensitive sans font chosen for the text compliments the illustrations both in weight and style. The opening page for each chapter is distinctively designed. The quality of reproduction of the illustrations is excellent, capturing every nuance in the Voysey's original design.… (plus d'informations)
