The classic book on the art and history of weaving--now expanded
and in full color Written by one of the twentieth century's leading
textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous
meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and
techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published
in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and
the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material
awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design
problems are tackled by hand. With her focus on materials and
handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production
place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case
for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly
important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a
wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the
medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian
textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter,
as well as illuminating examples of her own work. Now available for
a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving
updates the book's original black-and-white illustrations with
full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber
and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T'ai Smith that shed critical
light on Albers and her career.
