Wiener Werkstätte
Gabriele Fahr-Becker, Angelika Taschen
Taschen, 2016

Fondée en 1903 par Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser et Fritz Waerndorfer, la Wiener Werkstätte (« Atelier de Vienne ») est une alliance progressive d'artistes et de designers qui était particulièrement désireuse de défier la société industrialisée avec un savoir-faire artisanal individuel et de rassembler différentes facettes de la vie dans une œuvre d'art unifiée et élégante. L'atelier a commencé sa vie dans trois petites pièces, mais s'est rapidement agrandi pour remplir un bâtiment de trois étages avec des départements spéciaux pour le travail du métal, du cuir et du bois, ainsi qu'un relieur et un atelier de peinture. Les artistes ont expérimenté divers matériaux tels que l'or, les pierres précieuses et le papier mâché et ont appliqué leurs motifs simples, souvent géométriques, à la céramique, aux textiles, à la typographie, à la décoration d'intérieur, au mobilier et à la mode. Dans des commandes architecturales telles que le Purkersdorf Sanatorium et le Palais Stoclet à Bruxelles, le groupe a pu réaliser son idéal du Gesamtkunstwerk (« œuvre d'art totale »), dans lequel chaque détail d'un environnement a été conçu comme partie intégrante d'un tout coordonné. Bien que l'atelier n'ait duré que 30 ans, il a connu un succès commercial important, et est aujourd’hui reconnu pour son approche globale de la pratique artistique et son influence stylistique sur l'Art Déco et le Bauhaus..

Symbols of Power, Luxury Textiles from Islamic Lands, 7th–21st Century
Louise W. Mackie
Yale, 2015

For centuries, luxury textiles were symbols of status, wealth, and power at Islamic imperial courts from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, setting standards for beauty and fueling prosperous, urban economies. This book offers an unparalleled examination of Islamic luxury textiles, drawn from the Cleveland Museum of Art's exemplary collection as well as from museums on four continents. Leading scholar Louise W. Mackie offers a generous overview of the cultural significance of these textiles, as well as descriptions of primary motifs and patterns, and explanations of various techniques used in their production. With singular insight into distinctive artistic characteristics of wealthy dynasties and periods, the text--complemented by more than 450 sumptuous illustrations--pinpoints luxury textiles as a vital link between art, culture, and history of the Islamic world. This book offers a much-needed contribution to scholarship on both textiles and Islamic art, and paves the way for further study and appreciation of these objects..

Marie Cuttoli, Myrbor et l'invention de la tapisserie moderne
Dominique Paulve
Norma, 2010

La vie de cette femme ambitieuse et instinctivement férue d’avant-gardisme se déroule comme un roman. Rien ne prédestinait Marie Bordes, née à Tulle en 1879 d’un père limonadier, à devenir « le catalyseur de l’art moderne » respecté de tous les collectionneurs, galeristes et conservateurs des musées du monde entier. Grâce à ses idées audacieuses et par le biais de sa galerie Myrbor, les plus grands artistes de son époque se sont penchés sur l’art de la tapisserie, à commencer par Rouault, Picasso ou Le Corbusier. Participant par son œuvre à l’évolution du décor moderniste, Marie Cuttoli a aussi fortement contribué au renouveau des ateliers d’Aubusson dans les années 30. Épouse du maire de Philippeville, Paul Cuttoli, dont elle conservera toujours le nom, c’est avec l’éminent professeur Henri Laugier qu’elle passera cinquante années d’une vie sous le signe de la passion amoureuse, de celle de la collection d’œuvres d’art et du mécénat.

Azimuth Editions, 2002

Status symbols, diplomatic gifts, artistic mediums and economic treasures--figured silk fabrics were among the most powerful and most characteristic artistic products of the Ottoman Empire. Wars were fought for control of silk revenues, and governments devoted major bureaucratic efforts toward the organization, regulation and taxation of silk production. "Ipek: The Crescent & the Rose" is the most comprehensive and magnificently illustrated overview of Ottoman silk textiles of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its lavish, full-bleed, six-color reproductions of fabrics from the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, and from lesser-known ecclesiastical treasuries in the Balkans, Sweden, Poland and Russia, demonstrate the creativity of Ottoman weavers in rich detail, and will appeal to anyone with an interest in design or a general appreciation for visual delights. Accompanied by scholarly essays that shed light on the different historical, legislative, economic and technological factors that determined the history of these textiles.

Wrapped in Pride, Ghanaian Kente and African Identity
Doran H. Ross
UCLA/PMCH, 1998

Kente is not only the best known of all African textiles, it is also one of the most admired of all fabrics worldwide. Originating among the Asante peoples of Ghana and the Ewe peoples of Ghana and Togo, this brilliantly colored and intricately patterned strip-woven cloth was traditionally associated with royalty. Over time, however, it has come to be worn and used in many different contexts. In Wrapped in Pride, seven distinguished scholars present an exhaustive examination of the history of Kente from its earliest use in Ghana to its present-day impact in the African Diaspora. Doran H. Ross is the former director of the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History.

Mantles of Merit, Chin Textiles from Myanmar, India and Bangladesh
David Fraser, Barbara Fraser
Riverbooks, 2006

Until now the history, culture and textiles of the Chin, a heterogeneous group of people, has been inadequately studied. Their rich textile culture emphasizes grand blankets and intricate tunics, made of homespun cotton, flax, hemp and silk, dyed with indigo and lac, and woven on a back-tension loom. In considering Chin textiles as art and cultural objects, the authors describe both their beauty and technical virtuosity and their integral role in the Chin effort to achieve merit in this life and the next. The inter-relationships between the complex subdivisions of the Chin and their neighbors are also discussed. The co-author has studied textiles for over 20 years. David Fraser is a research associate at the Textile Museum in Washington DC.

The Kashmiri Shawl, From Jamavar to Paisley
Sherry Rehman, Naheed Jafri
Antique Collectors' Club, 2006

The Kashmiri shawl is rooted in a complex tradition of craft that dates back at least five hundred years. Its uniqueness lies in a combination of factors that have made it virtually impossible to duplicate anywhere else. "The Kashmiri Shawl" is the story of this textile, re-told through a South Asian perspective. This book re-aligns the design symbolism and technical evolution of the shawl to indigenous sources by placing emphasis on areas previously ignored in earlier histories. The shawl's origins in Kashmir, the rich vein of patronage it thrived on, its changing ornamental face, its regional variations in Persia and Punjab, its enormous impact on the European imagination, all combine to form a narrative shaped to engage the reader. The authors bring fresh clarity to the many myths that have arisen around the Kashmiri shawl on the South Asian trade circuit. They also interpret most of the complexities in the Kashmiri shawl lexicon. .

Antique Collectors' Club, 2002

The catalogues of the Paris Salons at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century provide a unique archive of illustrations of the decorative arts at a pivotal time in their development, the five previous volumes covering Jewellery, Furniture, Ceramics and Glass, and Objets d'Art. The fabric designers of the Art Nouveau style who exhibited at the Paris Salons produced a remarkable oeuvre in printed and woven fabric, silk, lace, embroidery and tapestry. This volume is probably the most important in the series. Because of wear and tear, practically none of the approximate 1,200 textile and leatherware pieces illustrated have survived outside museum collections or appeared at auction, unlike the items covered by the earlier volumes.

Such artists and designers as Picasso, Poiret, Gray, Delaunay, Matisse, Klee, and many more advanced the designs going on underfoot, making these rugs extremely collectible artworks in their own right. Generously sized and beautifully illustrated with over 250 full-color photographs, here are Art Deco and Modernist carpets at their most glorious.

Ballets Russes
André Tubeuf
Assouline, 2011

The success of the Ballets Russes was legendary, but there is more to the legend than its name: the actual story, the adventure - conceived by one man and lived by a few-that lasted only eight seasons and three summers. From 1911 to 1914, Serge Diaghilev, driven by conviction and stubbornness, turned his vision into reality. He collaborated with Leon Bakst, Igor Stravinsky, and Pablo Picasso (to name a few) to create an explosion of creativity in Western Europe the likes of which had never been seen in the world of art. Thanks to Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, the most illustrious page in the history of ballet, one of the most glorious moments in the adventure of art, was written. To turn the pages of this stunning tome is to follow Diaghilev's on his creative quest, one that continues to influence art, theater, ballet, and fashion to this day.

Liberty of London, Masters of Style and Decoration

For more than one hundred years the name Liberty of London has been synonymous with the highest achievements in the decorative arts - from fabric to furniture, from carpets to ceramics. This full account of Liberty's accomplishments in the applied arts is therefore also a central history of design over the past century. Organized chronologically and profusely illustrated, it begins with Arthur Liberty's early emporium, selling oriental textiles and imported furnishings, then covers the Aesthetic movement, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, the decorative twenties and thirties, and the revivalism of the fifties and sixties. It ends with a survey of Liberty's exploration of international modern design.
