If you are looking for a quilting book with patterns and instructions, this is not the book for you. But if you are looking for inspiration and ideas, this is a very good one to acquire. There are some gorgeous quilts, all in color - all from the collection of the American Folk Art Museum. Photographs are arranged in chapters by quilt type, i.e. log cabin, appliqué, Amish, etc. Dates, location and sizes are provided. Can be called a "coffee table book" but the quilts are gorgeous. ( ) I had really high expectations for this book and have to say I was a bit disappointed. The large photos of the quilts are wonderful however many of the quilts I already have photos of in other quilt history books. This is definitely a "picture" book...not a lot of information about the quilts is included. All said however I am happy to get a cup of tea and spend a few hours studying the photos.... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
From America's preeminent museum collection, this definitive volume places the quilt firmly in the realm of art. Combining economy with artistry and everyday craftsmanship with extraordinary beauty, quilts hold a unique place in American culture. Each quilt tells a story about its maker and her community; seen together, these monumental textiles paint a broad picture of the development of a national character and uncover the hidden history of women's contribution to art. This volume brings together the two hundred most important examples from the esteemed collection of the American Folk Art Museum, many of which are shown here for the first time. Each masterpiece was chosen carefully as an emblem of its time, style, and technique. Concise texts introducing each chapter remain entirely accessible in tone and never intrude upon the full-page image reproductions and countless detail enlargements that reveal the intricate stitching and surprising dimensionality of the works.
