Gloria F. Ross and Modern Tapestry

Autor Ann Lane Hedlund Cuvânt înainte de Grace Glueck
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 noi 2010
Gloria F. Ross (1923-1998) described her work as the translation of paint into wool. She was deeply committed to reinventing the centuries-old art of tapestry, particularly championing the handmade in contemporary art. This remarkable book, written by textile scholar Ann Lane Hedlund, draws from rare unpublished archives to unravel the evolution of Ross’s modern tapestries and to illuminate the significance of her creative partnerships.
Gloria F. Ross and Modern Tapestry features the collaborative work of 28 acclaimed modernist painters and sculptors, including Helen Frankenthaler (Ross’s sister), Kenneth Noland, and Louise Nevelson, with several dozen traditional-yet-innovative weavers in France, Scotland, and the Southwestern United States. Brief biographies of the artists, letters, notes, sketches, and photographs illustrate the practical and aesthetic challenges that occupied Gloria Ross for over three decades.

Recenzii

"It is certainly one of the best researched titles on the topic of modern tapestry. . . . It is an important addition to any academic library with programs in design. Public libraries with strong art collections and collectors interested in learning more about modern tapestry will find this title solid and well worth the $65.00 price tag."—Barbara Opar, ARLIS/NA Reviews
