SUMMARY:Lady Lever Art Gallery: Lady Lever Art Gallery: Sublime Symmetry
DESCRIPTION:Sublime Symmetry\n01 Oct 2021—09 Jan 2022\nLady Lever Art Gal
 lery\n\nDe Morgan Ceramics\n\n--\n\nFamed for richly coloured\, lustrous g
 lazed tiles and pottery with birds and dragon decoration\, De Morgan’s w
 ork is beautiful and iconic. But\, behind the fantastical beasts which wra
 p themselves around De Morgan’s vases and the fanciful flora which meand
 ers across his tiles\, there is a rigorously planned mathematical structur
 e. Sublime Symmetry: De Morgan Ceramics uncovers the pattern\, shape and
  symmetry in De Morgan’s designs.\n\nThis visually stunning exhibition w
 ill showcase a collection of around 70 ceramic objects on loan from The De
  Morgan Foundation.\n\nIt will include an exploration of De Morgan’s car
 eer and the influence of William Morris on his early work\, as well as how
  Islamic Art and De Morgan’s rediscovery of lustre\, a thousand years af
 ter it was first used by potters in the Middle East\, shaped his art.\n\nD
 e Morgan’s unique experiments with glazes once caused a house fire in hi
 s rented London home when he used the fireplace as a makeshift kiln. His c
 omprehension of mathematics and ability to manipulate his designs to adhe
 re to precise geometric rules\, as well as his understanding of elements a
 nd glaze\, enabled him to make the sublime symmetrical patterns featured i
 n the exhibition.\n\nIn 1859 De Morgan was admitted to the Royal Academy S
 chools and had a classical art training. He met William Morris in 1863 and
  began designing stained glass for him before setting up his own business 
 in 1872. From 1877 – 1881 he installed Sir Frederic Leighton’s Middl
 e Eastern tiles in the Arab Hall at his home in London\, which sparked his
  interest in these complex geometric designs and inspired his future work.
  Over the years his interests\, abilities and experimentations with potte
 ry developed and he created more figurative and ambitious pieces.\n\nIf yo
 u enjoy this exhibition we’re asking you to pay what you think is approp
 riate\, to support our museums and art galleries.
