Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857–1941) could easily have made a career out of pattern design alone, so celebrated were his textile and wall coverings. By the mid-1890s, however, he also was hailed as one of Britain’s most innovative architects. C. F. A. Voysey: Architect, Designer, Individualist explores the life and work of this pivotal figure in British architecture and design through rare period photos, over 65 color reproductions, and the words of Voysey and those who knew him. Like other Arts and Crafts practitioners, Voysey believed that no aspect of a house was too small to merit the architect’s attention. Here, the architect’s entire body of work is represented, from his architectural designs for cottage houses to his interior designs for furniture, metalwork, wall coverings, and textiles.Author Anne O’Donnell reveals Voysey’s fascinating, often contradictory personality and the genius that lead two very different movements, Art Nouveau and Modernism, to hail Voysey as an inspiration. Unlike previous studies of Voysey,O’Donnell also considers the unique spiritual philosophy, “Individualism,” that made Voysey’s architecture revolutionary and gave his pattern designs their remarkable power—even while it set him at odds with many of his contemporaries.
