Эта великолепно иллюстрированная книга, написанная одним из ведущих художников XX века по текстилю, представляет собой яркое размышление об искусстве ткачества, его истории, инструментах и техниках, а также о его значении для современного дизайна. Впервые опубликованная в 1965 году, книга "Ткачество наводит мосты между ручной работой и машинным изготовлением" подчеркивает важнейшую важность понимания материала и творческих скачков, которые могут произойти, когда проблемы дизайна решаются вручную.
Written by one of the twentieth century’s leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand. With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work. Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book’s original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T’ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.
