Book Description

Publication Date: March 2003

This work features illustrations of textiles for fashion (including headscarves) and furnishings designed by artists living or working in Britain for British companies during the period 1945-1970. This was a time of belief in "art for the people" in the new democratic spirit of post-war Britain and has parallels in other media such as school prints. A comprehensive introduction by Richard Chamberlain and Geoff Rayner puts the period in its context, giving a historical perspective and covering contemporary events such as the "Painting into Textiles" exhibition at the ICA in 1953.
