Artists of the Loom
Author: Tom Sheeran
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780990673507
Category : Ayacucho (Peru)
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This is the first complete look at a little known textile tradition from a remote region of the Andes, illustrated with dozens of full-color photographs and many black and white graphics. The text, in both English and Spanish, documents the history, the craft, the artistry, and the personal stories of the masters of a remarkable weaving style with roots in the ancient Wari and Inca cultures. They use alpaca and sheep's wool dyed with natural materials to create stunning tapestries with contemporary appeal. Designs are based on traditional motifs interpreted with their individual artistic vision. The author has known these artisans for many years and has imported fine Peruvian textiles for more than three decades. His extensive knowledge of the many pre-Columbian cultures of Peru, as well as of the recent troubled time of the Sendero Luminoso civil war which was centered in Ayacucho, makes this work compelling.

Peruvian Art as Shown on Textiles and Pottery (Classic Reprint)
Author: Charles W. Mead
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780365166610
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Excerpt from Peruvian Art as Shown on Textiles and Pottery The Museum's collections of textiles and pottery vessels from pre historic graves in Peru provide an opportunity for the study of primitive art that is not excelled, if, indeed, it is equaled in any other field. The great beauty of the color schemes and the wonderful number of curious conventionalized animal figures, especially in the textiles, make these exhibits particularly valuable to the student of design. That this opportunity exists and that the Museum authorities as a part of their educational system are providing all the assistance and comfort possible to visiting artists and students are fast becoming known, as shown by the fact that for quite a number of years an average of one hundred and fifty a month have availed themselves of this privilege, while during the last few years that number has been doubled. As a large part of the students of design who make use of these textiles expect later to obtain positions in textile houses, carpet, rug, or wall paper manufactories, or to enter into some other business where designers are employed, it will interest and encourage them to know that many textile houses have lately put upon the market silks and other materials decorated with designs inspired by the figures and color schemes of the prehistoric Peruvians. Our large textile manufacturers have, year after year, sent their best artists to Paris for designs, having no idea that such a wealth of material, eminently suitable for decora tion, was waiting for them in the Museum so near at hand.
