Plus célèbre pour ses motifs floraux que pour son engagement politique, William Morris (1834-1896) consacre pourtant une partie de sa vie à dénoncer les contradictions internes du capitalisme. À travers ses discours, ses utopies politiques ou sa pratique artistique, il alerte sur les effets destructeurs de l’industrialisme, tant écologiques que sociaux. Convaincu que la beauté donne sens à l’existence, il appelle à la convivialité, à l’épanouissement personnel et à l’émancipation collective, grâce à la réappropriation des activités créatrices. Florent Bussy nous montre que sa vision d’une société fondée sur le partage plutôt que la concurrence, l’égalité plutôt que la domination, la beauté plutôt que l’artifice, la qualité plutôt que le gaspillage est une source d’inspiration inestimable pour tout projet de transformation sociale radicale.

Summary:
A new edition of one of the most widely read books on modern design Nikolaus Pevsner's landmark work was first published in 1936. Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three main sources: William Morris and his followers; the work of the 19th-century engineers; and Art Nouveau. All these form the essential background to the work of the early Modernists, with their rejection of ornament, their use of new materials and their commitment to "utility" and the machine age. Pevsner looks at the early masters of the movement, such as Voysey and Rennie Mackintosh in Britain; Sullivan and Lloyd Wright in America; and Loos and Wagner in Vienna, ending in 1914, with Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus movement representing design's most radical break with the past.
