Abstract Textile Designs by Schiffer Publishing

Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing

An art form often ignored gets its due in this collection of historic prints. The abstract genre, as it has been applied to the textiles of everyday life--from upholstery fabrics and curtains to the wearable art we don daily--is explored through photographs of 300 fabric swatches from couture houses in Italy, France, and the United States. This colorful volume is a must-have for up-and-coming textile and fashion designers ready to take a lesson from their anonymous predecessors in the everyday gallery of art.[AuthorName]By Tina Skinner[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Tina Skinner is a professional writer and editor specilizing in design.
