Kelmscott House – Home of designers Jane & William Morris
A short intro to Kelmscott House, home to William Morris and Jane Morris, founders of the Arts & Crafts movement of artists and designers.
The William Morris Society's 2019 exhibition explores the creative history of Kelmscott House in London's Hammersmith, famously home to Arts & Crafts designers William and Jane Morris, and their daughters Jenny and May Morris. To coincide with the exhibition I've given a short intro to the history of the House, looking at its creative community of visitors including Pre-Raphaelite artists, plus a Q&A with the William Morris Society Curator Helen Elletson.
Many thanks to the William Morris Society and Helen for sharing insights and showing me around this beautiful house!

Переглядів 16 тис.5 років тому
A super short intro to Jane Morris (aka Jane Burden) and her Arts & Crafts embroidery work. Jane Morris is one of the original designers and embroiderers of the Arts & Crafts Movement. In this video I’ve aimed to give a short intro to Jane Morris and her work - including her collabs with husband William Morris and daughter May Morris and her modelling for Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Ros...

A quick intro to the life and work of Victorian actress and stage icon Ellen Terry. Ellen Terry was one of the most famous victorian actresses with a career spanning nearly 7 decades. In this video I've aimed to give a super short intro to Ellen Terry's life, career, creative friends and the artworks that helped to make her a theatre icon.

Elizabeth Siddal - The artist who modelled for 'Ophelia'
Переглядів 28 тис.6 років тому
Elizabeth Siddal is best known as the model for Millais' iconic painting 'Ophelia'. She became the most famous Pre-Raphaelite muse and posed for Victorian artists including Rossetti who she had a stormy nine year relationship with. In this video I've looked at Siddal's own story and artistic talents. I visited the exact spot on the beautiful Hogsmill River, on the edge of London, where Millais ...
Yoko Ono's performance art, film & fluxus happenings
Переглядів 15 тис.6 років тому
Yoko Ono pushed boundaries and experimented with radical ideas in her artistic practice. In this video I've given a quick summary of Yoko Ono's work from performance art, like her famous 'Cut Piece', to her films such as 'Bottoms'. I also speak about her time with John Lennon plus collaborations with Fluxus founder George Maciunas and musician John Cage. A renewed interest in the avant-garde ar...
The powerful art of Frida Kahlo
Переглядів 10 тис.6 років тому
Mexican Artist Frida Kahlo created autobiographical paintings which often revealed her physical and psychological pain. She's now become a feminist icon, among the many reasons was her defiance of gender stereotypes and raw depictions of pain. In this video I've tried to give a quick summary of Frida Kahlo's life and art - from her Communist politics to life with Diego Rivera, and her Mexican i...
Meet Duggie Fields ✨ artist studio visit
Переглядів 8 тис.9 років тому
Duggie Fields lived and breathed his work and remained utterly true to his unique post-pop figurative style throughout his career. I was lucky enough to visit artist Duggie Fields at his London home and studio to chat more about his childhood, what inspires him, his working process and his Save Earl's Court campaign. Thanks Duggie for letting us in to your vibrant world. Continue to explore his...
Kelmscott Manor is NOT in Oxford but is in the village of Kelmscott in West Oxfordshire, close to the border with Gloucestershire. I do wish self-proclaimed experts would get their facts right.
Traduza em legenda para o português 😢por favor amo histórias
Loved this Ophelia needs to be loved and cherished wasnt right how she was treated same as elizabeth a truly gifted poet and artist who never got the recognition she deserved during her life it breaks my heart she worked so hard
So was her old age beauty.
Wonderful. I am writing about Jane and May Morris. Loved your coverage of Ellen Terry,as well. Thanks!🎉
Bet there are a lot of artist and writers whose wives contributed far more to their works than we can know.
Ophelia is coming to Sussex County Fenwick Island Delaware 922/2023 - researching the meaning of the name - very interesting
Even to this day Lizzie is a muse. Many visit her grave and some (mainly men I've read) cry.
Thank you for this super interesting video.
My only complaint? Way to short! I really like the way reported on Jane Burden, overlooked by society and historians, then and now. Nice work and this was so engaging, thank you💐
What a lovely and inspiring report thank you💐
Thank you for your reportage of William Morris, why was he never Sir William Morris? After all he contributed art and ideas that have meant so much and continue to mean so much to England and to the world. I am so glad that his home and work areas have been preserved for future generations. Thanks for keeping up this important work of keeping William Morris and others like him alive and in our collective thoughts💐
spot on glorious
Williams Arts & Crafts movement is verry relevant today . If only to learn modern lefttists what Socialism originaly stood for . To enlighten the lives of everyday working Brittish people , and bring beauty and harmony in their lives . How differend today with Woke , LHBTI , mass immigration and the likes . To me they forgott about the nation and its culture completely , to create a distopy in stead of harmony . Long live William Morris .
There should be a full-length feature film about Lizzie Siddall. She was an artist in her own right
Ophelia is a too much beautiful woman 💕😍❤️
I just found out that he passed on...he was fascinating.. He was a very interesting visual artist..wonderful!🐞
You know Morris is such a relavant figure today. Not just in terms of social justice and climate change but his philosophy on hand made things. People are returning to taking up lost skills like embroidery and furniture design and regenerative agriculture and …. meaning creative hobbies and careers. There are trends to rather having a sustainable wardrobe of well made properly fitting clothes from natural fibres. People are tired of the repercussions of fast fashion and design trends which take something beautiful and exploit it as a trend until it’s sickening to look at. I think a Netflix series on Morris and his interactions with people (philosophers artists craftsmen) and his personal character arc would be absolutely inspiring and extremely popular! The world is ripe for an arts and crafts revival movement!
Really interesting.Cheers!
Hi Jessye, hope you are well - I keep looking out for more of your videos but you seem to have been quiet for a while. On one of your vids I mentioned looking into the Caira sisters, (cant remember which vid it was, sorry!), as great examples of powerful women in the art world of the early 1900's. Did you manage to find anything? I've got someone else you may be interested in from much earlier - late 1700's to early 1800's to be exact. A pewter manufacturer called Susannah Cocks. She took over her husbands business when he died at a young age and made a great success of it, shocking the London regency society of the time. Again, not a great deal of information about her other than examples of her pewter items which can still be found if you trawl the auction sites and antique shops. Hope this is of interest to you and all the best :-)
@46: I thought Ellen's youthful beauty here was exquisite
Beautifully presented, thankyou. I also watched "Several Circles" contribution on the Preraphaelites which is also excellent however she features a photograph of Elisabeth which clearly is not her, the nose shape is the giveaway.
Thank you Jessye

This is amazing I’ve always wondered who the people were behind the modelling of these paintings
She looks like a man. Clearly!
I think that’s the house in the netfix series “Bridgerton”.
That was so tremendously interesting
Thank you!!
@@jessyeseth welcome, hun
That was lovely. I want to go there, now
I have dedicated a poem to Elizabeth Siddal. Sad story but very powerful.
so heartbreaking..
My bedroom is covered with Morris' designs, they're so elegant. I love your videos Jessye! 💘
Thank you for your lovely channel. Beautiful content enhanced by the narration in your most pleasant voice. Keep on!
Nice video this, thank you for the information and effort
Tome mi like
Clear, concise outline of an extraordinary woman. Thanks for that!
What a beautiful channel you have. Being an artist myself I really like the period info about these artist and models. I remember years ago seeing a documentary on the Gibson girls , brilliant stuff. Thank you much ms. J.B
I love the story of Jane Morris was it also true that she was the inspiration for Eliza Doolittle?
A wonderful, very interesting presentation. Thank you
Brilliant Channel jessye 😊
Great content, great videos but you speak a little bit too fast for me 🙂
Hi, congratulations on the interview. Sorry for the mistakes, I'm Italian. I am a fan of Pink Floyd and, in particular, of Syd Barrett. A couple of years ago I went to Cambridge and London to see the places of their beginnings. In London I also went to Earl's Court, of course without going into Duggie's apartment, but taking some photos on the sidewalk where Syd did a photo shoot with a girl (Iggy the Eskimo). As you know, in 1968, Duggie shared that apartment with Syd Barret and I'm pretty sure the room you did the interview in is the one Syd lived in. One last thing: I didn't understand who the blond boy with glasses in the photo at 3:36 is (maybe Bob Klose?), But I'm pretty sure that the one on the right is a young Syd Barrett.
Thank you! Yes that's the same room that Syd & Duggie shared, and the person with the glasses is the artist David Hockney
thanks Mrs Bea for your light cherfull yet edicational channel on the prominent women in the art history
Love it 👌🏻
💘💘💘
man "I can not paint you but I love you" thats the cutest thing ever

This was such a great video! We just did a podcast episode on the Pre-Raphaelite sisterhood and I am working on an instagram post on Jane's role in the arts and crafts movement. I found this so helpful and am amazed at how beautiful her textiles are! Thank you!!
@@sabrinayates533 LOVE these! Thank you for sharing, have got you on twitter so I keep en eye out for new eps ❤️ working my way through them now!
Absolutely fantastic, I so admire her. You are a great presenter! Clear and stylish and intelligent, I hope you do lots more🌹
