NK9198.5.U6.M38Description
This is the first comprehensive book about the contemporary art quilt. In it, the authors examine the events which led to the emergence of this new art form, beginning with the Arts and Crafts movement of the late nineteenth century. They recount in fascinating detail the events of the past century which have influenced the current quilt revival. Their focus includes modern art, showing how it has affected today's quilt artists and how quilts, in turn, have influenced artists working in other media. They analyze the similarities and differences between art quilts and traditional quilts, and examine the techniques and styles of the participating sixteen quilt artists. The artists themselves talk about their work, and the authors discuss the current state of the art quilt, looking at its future in the quilt and modern art worlds.Collection
