About
Mildred Lovett’s 'Vase with pastoral design of dancing figures by Sydney Long' is based on the painting 'Fantasy' by Long. Demonstrating the Arts and Crafts ideal of an exchange between painting and the decorative arts, Lovett developed her composition from Long’s painting in a vase design. The painting’s flattened Art-Nouveau pattern is transposed by the rhythmic rise of the vase’s curved form.
