Owen Jones

    15 de febrero de 1809 – 19 de abril de 1874

    Owen Jones fue un arquitecto y teórico del diseño galés que fue pionero en la teoría moderna del color. Su obra, inspirada en el arte islámico, defendió audaces teorías sobre el modelado plano y la abstracción en el ornamento. Jones creía en la búsqueda de un estilo moderno único para el siglo XIX, radicalmente diferente de las estéticas predominantes del Neoclasicismo y el Renacimiento Gótico. Sus publicaciones fundamentales y su influencia en la formación del Museo Victoria and Albert lo consolidan como una figura clave en la historia del diseño.
