New Directions: Exploring Art Quilts with SAQA (Exploring Art Quilts with SAQA, 1)

Schiffer and SAQA have teamed up again to produce a beautiful book about today's quilt artists.

Beautifully photographed and presented. Love the variety of styles and approaches to art quilts.

The Studio Art Quilt Associates new book Exploring Art Quilts, Volume 1: New Directions showcases sixteen contemporary quilt artists and offers themed galleries that illustrate how contemporary fiber art is breaking new boundaries.The Introduction asks, "What is an Art Quilt?" In the next section Art quilts from France, Japan, and the United Kingdom are showcased. The judied galleries are based on themes from portraits to surface design to text messages.The artists interviews are fascinating, offering insights into their development and techniques.Some of the artists I am familiar with; I have seen their quilts or heard them speak or have their books or follow them on social media.But I have also discovered a multitude of new artists! I love that their websites are included with the quilt information and I intend to visit them.With 350 illustrations on extra large pages, this volume will offer hours of study. It is quite overwhelming!I received a free book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

Tutto ben organizzato con interviste interessanti e foto accurate. Come sempre complimenti a SAQA!
