DESCRIPTION:
"There is so much in the book to get one excited about tapestry All in all, the book is very interesting reading and above all, dazzling." — Fibre Focus Review
The book addresses the developing status of historical factory houses, the differing roles of tapestry artists and manufacturers, discusses how these roles have changed over time and looks in further detail at the socio-historical context of the featured works.The book also looks in detail at the current tapestry scene, beginning in earnest with the textile work of Henry Moore 20 years ago. Tapestry: A Woven Narrative initially focuses on European tapestry and features significant historical images derived from extensive international tapestry collections. Now, established artists across the globe, significantly in North America, Australia and New Zealand, have begun appropriating the medium to present their work and ideas in a previously unexplored fashion, creating a fascinating juxtaposition
Excellent resource on modern tapestry Cheryl Riniker This book is a excellent resource on Tapestry, its history, and current artists and trends. It contains 2 essays on tapestry, profiles several current tapestry artists, and show cases tapestries from each of the artists, and full color. It also profiles the Australian Tapestry Workshop, the West Dean Tapestry Studio, and the Dovecot Studios.This is not a technique book, but it goes beyond technique to show contempo. Nice book about tapestry -- not an instruction book Good look at tapestry from a variety of perspectives. Some articles have been printed elsewhere I believe. Still worth enjoying though.
