Owen Jones

    February 15, 1809 – April 19, 1874

    Owen Jones was a Welsh architect and design theorist who pioneered modern color theory. His work, drawing heavily on Islamic art, championed bold theories of flat patterning and abstraction in ornament. Jones was a fervent advocate for a unique nineteenth-century modern style, distinct from prevailing Neoclassicism and Gothic Revival aesthetics. His seminal publications and influence on the formation of the Victoria and Albert Museum cemented his legacy as a pivotal figure in design history.
