Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. n this posthumously published volume, Movement in Tapestry, Silvia's central theme of creating movement in modern abstract tapestry is explored in nearly 90 full-page color photographs accompanied by her hand-written quotes, explanations, and diagrams. She chose these particular tapestries to engage the viewer in a dialogue about the essence of dynamic composition based on Bauhaus principles. Her focus on the textile-tactile elements that distinguish weaving from painting arose from the process of working at the loom, as opposed to attempting to weave a pre-conceived image. This merging of art and craft led her to surprising new techniques that culminated in her 'feathered weave? and allowed her to create rhythms and motifs in vibrant colors. After more than sixty years of weaving close to one and a half thousand tapestries, she still felt as though she had only just begun to tap intothe great potential she saw of a renaissance of this ars nova.What is so wonderful about weaving? For me, it's the process of discovery that gives me tremendous joy. I hope my tapestries convey this joy to the viewer because in tapestry weaving the result leaves the process visible. Onecan read a tapestry the same way it was woven ? all the visions and revisions,challenges, thrills are visible in the finished tapestry. Silvia Harding nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The 800 tapestries Silvia Heyden wove over the course of 50 years brought her to the essence of tapestry. They fulfilled a long-held wish first articulated shortly after graduation from Art School in 1952: to rediscover the truly woven, and revitalize weaving as a distinct art form. The numerous drawings and sketchpads that have recently come to light, excerpts of which are included here, along with extensive documentation she had prepared of more than half of her tapestries, provide an overview of her insights into weaving. For Heyden, the beauty and fascination of weaving began with the integral nature of figure and ground, both of which the weaver has to create, unlike a drawing which starts with the background of a sheet of paper, or a painting which starts with a woven canvas. The unique simultaneity of foreground figures and their background forms in weaving leads to numerous further interactions whose balance is particular to weaving, including between technique and aesthetics, between weaving and drawing, between the craft and the art of weaving, culminating in the dialogue between means and meaning, as she liked to say. These dichotomies, between how a tapestry is made and how it is looks, reveal an entire world of profound aesthetic and conceptual ideas. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
