Download or read book Navajo Weaving in the Late Twentieth Century written by Ann Lane Hedlund and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Navajos, the holy people Spider Man and Spider Woman first brought the tools for weaving to the People. Over the centuries Navajo artists have used those tools to weave a web of beautyÑa rich tradition that continues to the present day. In testimony to this living art form, this book presents 74 dazzling color plates of Navajo rugs and wall hangings woven between 1971 and 1996. Drawn from a private southwestern collection, they represent the work of sixty of the finest native weavers in the American Southwest. The creations depicted here reflect a number of stylesÑrevival, sandpainting, pictorial, miniature, samplerÑand a number of major regional variations, from Ganado to Teec Nos Pos. Textile authority Ann Hedlund provides an introductory narrative about the development of Navajo textile collectingÑincluding the shift of attention from artifacts to artÑand a brief review of the history of Navajo weaving. She then comments on the shaping of the particular collection represented in the book, offering a rich source of knowledge and insight for other collectors. Explaining themes in Navajo weaving over the quarter-century represented by the Santa Fe Collection, Hedlund focuses on the development of modern rug designs and the influence on weavers of family, community, artistic identity, and the marketplace. She also introduces each section of plates with a description of the representative style, its significance, and the weavers who perpetuate and deviate from it. In addition to the textile plates, Hedlund's color photographs show the families, landscapes, livestock, hogans, and looms that surround today's Navajo weavers. Navajo Weaving in the Late Twentieth Century explores many of the important connections that exist today among weavers through their families and neighbors, and the significant role that collectors play in perpetuating this dynamic art form. For all who appreciate American Indian art and culture, this book provides invaluable guidance to the fine points of collecting and a rich visual feast.
Download or read book The Technique of Split Shed Weaving written by Killgore Lynne and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Break out of blocks with split-shed weaving. This technique gives any weaver with a 4-shaft loom the ability to weave pictorial imagery using continuous wefts without the need for complicated equipment, pick-up sticks, dobby mechanisms, graphed designs, or warp thread counting. One can weave structures that include variations of twills, tied weaves, double weft-faced weaves, taqueté, samitum, Bronson, double weave, lampas, piqué, waffle and more! Every pattern is accompanied by color images with detailed enlargements. Easy-to-understand drafts include drawdowns that illustrate all possible pattern combinations, as well as tie-up and treadling diagrams for jack, direct tie-up, table, countermarch and counterbalance looms.The beginning chapters are designed to allow the weaver to create a multi-pattern sampler on a single warp. The book progression enables one to advance from one shuttle structures to two-shuttle weaves, then to multi-shuttle weaving, allowing the weaver to mix colors and create shading. The book includes simplified treadling instructions for several loom types that can be copied and attached to the loom for easy reference while weaving. There are also instructions for creating a cartoon that remains flat and that will not wrinkle when beating.Deborah Silver is an artist, author, and weaving instructor. Her weavings employ the split-shed technique, transforming traditional pattern structures into a signature method of hand-weaving. All weft yarns travel from selvedge to selvedge, differentiating this cloth from tapestry. Her past works have been inspired by the increased cross-culturalism in the world which has been facilitated by technology. Her recent art is drawn from American women's history and from memorials found in old cemeteries. Deborah's weavings have been shown in numerous local and international juried exhibitions, receiving many awards, including the Complex Weavers Award and First Place at "Complexity 2018: Innovations in Weaving". She received a Cleveland Jewish Arts and Culture Fellowship award in 2015, and an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award in 2019.Deborah continues to explore the many facets of split-shed weaving in her art, discovering new ways to combine her imagery with pattern structures.

Download or read book Pictures of Tilling and Weaving written by Roslyn Lee Hammers and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the twelfth century and continuing to the time of the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors in the eighteenth century, depictions of tilling and weaving were an important means for sponsors, particularly rulers, to demonstrate their interest in the welfare of the people. But there has never been a serious art historical study of this tradition and the political implications of the images and texts. These handscrolls by Lou Shu, a Ningbo official, depicting rural silk manufacturing and grain cultivation helped usher in a new genre of painting in Song China (gengzhi tu) that centered on representation of rural communities at work and the social tensions that the work entailed. The Pictures of Tilling and Weaving scrolls depict 45 procedures of agriculture and sericulture with each stage accompanied by a poem by Lou Shu describing the plight of farmers, their concerns, and aspirations. The originals have been lost but copies were made and the scrolls gained much attention during the Qing. This book seeks to reconstruct the scrolls' probable appearance based on existing documents related to works handed down through history. Hammers discusses the poems and explains how and why they are crucial to understanding the meaning of Lou's project, offering important commentary on mutually beneficial relations between ruler, bureaucrat and farmer in an ideal society. Roslyn Lee Hammers is assistant professor of fine arts at the University of Hong Kong.
Download or read book Bauhaus Weaving Theory written by T’ai Smith and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bauhaus school in Germany has long been understood through the writings of its founding director, Walter Gropius, and well-known artists who taught there such as Wassily Kandinsky and László Moholy-Nagy. Far less recognized are texts by women in the school’s weaving workshop. In Bauhaus Weaving Theory, T’ai Smith uncovers new significance in the work the Bauhaus weavers did as writers. From colorful, expressionist tapestries to the invention of soundproofing and light-reflective fabric, the workshop’s innovative creations influenced a modernist theory of weaving. In the first careful examination of the writings of Bauhaus weavers, including Anni Albers, Gunta Stözl, and Otti Berger, Smith details how these women challenged assumptions about the feminine nature of their craft. As they harnessed the vocabulary of other disciplines like painting, architecture, and photography, Smith argues, the weavers resisted modernist thinking about distinct media. In parsing texts about tapestries and functional textiles, the vital role these women played in debates about medium in the twentieth century and a nuanced history of the Bauhaus comes to light. Bauhaus Weaving Theory deftly reframes the Bauhaus weaving workshop as central to theoretical inquiry at the school. Putting questions of how value and legitimacy are established in the art world into dialogue with the limits of modernism, Smith confronts the belief that the crafts are manual and technical but never intellectual arts.
