Textiles are the most ubiquitous, diverse, and consistently
creative art form on the planet. This major new work comprises more
than one thousand images that highlight the beauty, subtlety,
simplicity, or complexity of textiles created around the world.
Based on knowledge accrued over a lifetime of immersion in the
textile arts, Mary Schoeser s definitive text offers sweeping
insight into the role that textiles have played throughout human
civilization. The juxtaposition of historical and contemporary
examples highlights the skill and imagination of textile designers
through the centuries as well as the remarkable range of
achievements. Detailed images and informed captions illustrate the
variety and allure of textiles, and the informative descriptions
include histories of private collections, underscoring the
importance of context for appreciating the exquisite detail of
fabric and cloth. An extensive resource section provides valuable
information about museum and textile associations across the
globe."
