He was heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the works of John Ruskin and William Morris, who championed the return to handcrafted art and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrane's illustrations, particularly in children's books, are some of his most enduring works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA prominent figure in the arts and crafts movement, Crane believed in the unity of art and craft, advocating for the integration of beautiful design into everyday objects.  His designs extended beyond books to wallpapers, textiles and ceramics, contributing significantly to the decorative arts of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was also a socialist, and his political beliefs permeated his art, often reflecting themes of social justice and equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Crane's notable achievements was his role as a founder member of the Art Workers' Guild in 1884, and later, the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, which he chaired in 1888.  His influence extended to the public sphere through his work with these organisations, promoting the values of craftsmanship and artistic integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrane was controversial in his support of the four Chicago anarchists executed in 1887 in connection with the Haymarket affair.  Visiting the United States for the first time in connection with an exhibition of his work in 1891, Crane scandalised polite society by appearing at a Boston anarchist meeting and expressing the opinion that the Haymarket defendants had been put to death wrongfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturning to his hotel, Crane found a letter stating that he faced 'hopeless ruin' among American patrons of the arts owing to his support of those who were commonly considered to be terrorist conspirators in public opinion of the day. Financial support was withdrawn and planned dinners in Crane's honour were cancelled. In response to the controversy, Crane wrote a letter to the press explaining that he had not meant to cause insult and did not himself favour the use of explosives, but had merely been expressing his principled opinion that those convicted were innocent of the crime for which they were charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe incident was memorialised in the press as 'probably the most dramatic episode' in the artist's career. Crane publicly criticised the British government for the Second Boer War and joined the Stop the War Committee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrane's legacy is vast, and his work continues to be celebrated for its beauty, innovation and social relevance.  His blend of artistic skill and social consciousness helped shape the visual culture of his time and inspired future generations of artists and designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/crane-walter\" title=\"Walter Crane H–Y biography\"\u003eWalter Crane biography\u003c\/a\u003e for more about the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 455 images","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50421139210570,"sku":"","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/WalterCrane_1845-1915_Bundleof22Collections_H-Y_756f9e46-5b49-4410-a2d5-354407e8a40c.jpg?v=1747039189","url":"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/products\/walter-crane-1845-1915-bundle-of-22-collections-h-y","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
