Snakeshead, Early 20th century. Creator: William Morris (British, 1834-1896)
Snakeshead, Early 20th century. When Morris designed Snakeshead in 1877, Indian silks were in style and widely imported from British India. This design stands out for its diminutive motifs and the strong red and black colours, which were fashionable only for a short time before paler hues regained favor with clients. While its colour scheme suggests distant lands with warmer climates, the pattern showcases one of Morriss favorite flowers: the fritillary, a wildflower that he remembered growing in the meadows near Oxford

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite design of "Snakeshead" by British artist William Morris. Created in the early 20th century, this textile design reflects Morris's admiration for Indian silks that were highly sought after during that period. The distinctive feature of this pattern lies in its small motifs and bold red and black colors, which were briefly fashionable before giving way to lighter shades. While the vibrant color scheme evokes thoughts of far-off lands with warmer climates, the focal point of this artwork is one of Morris's beloved flowers: the fritillary. This wildflower held a special place in his heart as he fondly remembered it growing in meadows near Oxford. William Morris, an influential figure associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement, left an indelible mark on British art and design during his lifetime (1834-1896). His passion for creating beautiful yet functional objects can be seen through his use of plain weave cotton and intricate printing techniques showcased in "Snakeshead". Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this piece stands as a testament to Morris's artistic legacy. With its rich heritage and timeless appeal, "Snakeshead" continues to captivate viewers even today.
