Artists' Textiles in Britain, 1945-1970 Paperback

Paperback

Item not Available

Description

This work features illustrations of textiles for fashion (including headscarves) and furnishings designed by artists living or working in Britain for British companies during the period 1945-1970.

This was a time of belief in "art for the people" in the new democratic spirit of post-war Britain and has parallels in other media such as school prints.

A comprehensive introduction by Richard Chamberlain and Geoff Rayner puts the period in its context, giving a historical perspective and covering contemporary events such as the "Painting into Textiles" exhibition at the ICA in 1953.
