Overview

Kunst En Maatschappij (Art and Society) by William Morris, explores the intricate relationship between artistic creation and societal structures. Originally published in 1903, this Dutch translation offers insights into Morris's socialist ideals and his vision for an art that serves the people. Morris, a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, argues that true art cannot flourish in a society marked by inequality and exploitation. He advocates for a return to craftsmanship and a rejection of mass-produced goods, believing that art should be accessible to all and reflect the values of a just society. This edition, translated by M Hugenholtz-Zeeven, makes Morris's powerful message available to a Dutch-speaking audience, inviting readers to reconsider the role of art in shaping a better world. A foundational text for those interested in the intersection of art, socialism, and social reform.
