Contemporary Hodgepodge,
By jeanneb (New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Decoration on Fabric: A Sourcebook of Ideas (Paperback)
Sad to say, this book represents for me not a collection of beautiful, distinguishable motifs, ideas and projects, but more of the depressing, disheveled, hodgepodge and disorder all too familiar in today's "art".Hardly a "sourcebook of ideas" and with just one or two mediocre exceptions, the examples in this book were nothing more than uninspiring masses of color and texture that leave one with the question - what does this represent? Many of the projects in this book can best be done by a child on a BAD day, especially the "technique" on page 13 under "painting techniques", where a swathe of red paint slobbered across fabric several times, is described as "fabric paint brushed randomly using a large brush". Pitiful would be a much better description! Do not waste your time or money on this book if you want to be truly inspired!
