Richard Hollis – Henry van de Velde: The Artist as Designer
with Klarna
Henry van de Velde (1863–1957) is a pivotal figure in the history of modern design. His range was prodigious: from furniture, jewellery and dress design to interiors and entire buildings. His radical ideas on design education were absorbed into the Bauhaus. Written and designed by graphic designer and writer Richard Hollis, Henry van de Velde: The Artist as Designer is lavishly illustrated with over 300 images.
The book is the first major study of van de Velde’s work in English in 30 years. Hollis follows van de Velde from his beginnings as a painter in Belgium, through his conversion to English Arts and Crafts values and his connections with the literary and artistic avant-garde in Paris, to celebrity in pre-1914 Berlin. Hollis examines van de Velde’s life-long campaign for a ‘new style’ based on reason, and his role as a pioneer of the ‘new architecture’ between the two World Wars.
