Artists' Textiles 1940 to 1976

You may be familiar with Picasso’s paintings, but have you seen his fabric designs? Covering the development of textiles as an art form, the new book, Artists’ Textiles, showcases the work of creatives who walked the line between fine and applied arts. From Warhol to Calder, Matisse to Moore, the collaboration between artists and textile manufacturers during the years of 1940 to 1976 bloomed as modern art turned from canvas to cotton. This comprehensive book captures the work of 20th Century greats and illuminates their designs on a medium for the masses.
