Masters: Art Quilts
These art quilts showcase such versatility, innovation, and beauty that readers can't help but be truly inspired. The gifted artists come from across the globe--including Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America--and their work displays their varying sensibilities, backgrounds, and talents.
Abstract appliqued shapes cascade across the surface of Ita Ziv's brilliantly colored quilts, creating vibrant celebrations of life. Noriko Endo captures her deep feeling for trees in a stunning interplay of light, shadow, and leaves. Gloves appear in nearly every quilt by Jane Burch Cochran, representing probing hands and, sometimes, angel wings. John Lefelhocz's fantastic imagery--including an airplane silhouette that lights up--grabs viewers' attention.
Esteemed curator Martha Sielman contributes an illuminating essay for each of the 40 featured artists, who are showcased in eight-page features.
