Críticas:

Bobbie Sumberg looks at the Collection of the Museum and uses the collection to discover more about the people who wore these textiles. This book is illustrated with excellent photographs. The accompanying text is interesting. As a textile artist I find this book fascinating since it includes a wealth of information. The textiles themselves come from all over the world including Burma, India, China, Peru, Mexico, Canada, Saudi Arabia, New Mexico and more. The textiles are a testament to the arts of these nations. I find the wearables the most fascinating but this book also contains bedding, decorative, home and church textiles too. Not only does this book generate interest in the Museum itself, it is of great interest to textile students and textile artists world-wide. Superb.

Reseña del editor:

Textiles explores the cultural meaning and exquisite workmanship found in the Museum of International Folk Art’s vast collection that spans centuries and includes pieces from seventy countries around the world. Handcrafted work in beautiful, vivid colors typifies the clothing, hats, robes, bedding, and shoes that represent the lives and passions of the people who created and used them.
