William and Evelyn De Morgan were one
of the most exciting artistic couples of
the Victorian period, who believed their
art would create a better, more beautiful
world. William’s lustrous ceramics were
painstakingly handcrafted, reflecting his
belief in the transformative powers of
art and rejection of the industrial age.
Evelyn shared G F Watts’s social and
political ideologies, chiefly that mankind
should focus less on wealth and more on
their own spirituality.
