Soft cover. Condition: Fine. A new looking book that is unused and unmarked. Celebrating the design, techniques, colors, and artisans of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a beautifully illustrated tour of the Esprit collection of Amish quilts highlights works that were created between 1870 and 1950. From Publishers Weekly: Deep, vibrant tones of plum, burgundy, teal and hunter green in patterns as starkly simple as Bars or as sprightly as Sunshine and Shadow sing forth from the 82 quilts, selected from San Francisco's Esprit collection, pictured on these large-format pages. Designed and stitched by Pennsylvania Amish women between 1870 and 1950, the quilts exemplify the values in a religious culture that, as art critic Hughes notes in the introduction, "puts tremendous premium on stable order and material adequacy." Pieced from unpatterned cloth and arranged in geometric patterns, the quilts are vivid and modern in effect, demonstrating, in Hughes's view, "how absurd the once jealously guarded hierarchical distinctions between 'folk' and 'high' art can be." Silber, curator of the collection, provides brief, informative commentaries. Most eloquent, however, are the quilts themselves. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION. An informative literary and visually stunning expose of the art of the Amish quilt. "Here brilliantly photographed in full color are eighty-two masterpieces of American quiltmaking, selected from one of the country's finest repositories of classic Amish quilts, the Espirit collection. All were conceived and stitched by women of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, between 1870 and 1950. All are profoundly "home-made" creations, geometric in pattern, works of practicality and simplicity that reflect the essence of Amish principles. But in their boldness, their purity, their inspiration and their power, American quilts of this caliber can no longer be looked at solely as examples of domestic craftsmanship. They are seen here as true works of art." Each of the 82 full-color, photographic plates are accompanied by descriptive captions. A VERY GOOD, BRIGHT, CLEAN, TIGHT COPY sans rips/tears, stains, markings, discoloration, FRB3.
