Présentation de l'éditeur The richly woven and embroidered textiles in this book belong to the Miao minority group of Guizhou province in south-west China. The Miao's elaborate festival costumes are not only their most important possessions, but can be considered the major living visual art form of their culture. Over twenty such textiles from the British Museum's stunning collection are examined and illustrated in full and in detail to provide designers at all levels with inspiration for new and imaginative ideas. In her fascinating introduction the author brings the pieces to life by setting them within their social and cultural context, including information on the decorative techniques, patterning and stitches that distinguish one group from another. In addition, brief commentaries highlight the design features and a technical glossary supports the main text so you can rely on the book for eve-catching patterns as well as refer to it for specific information. With over 100 colour illustrations. Biographie de l'auteur Gina Corrigan leads tours and textile study groups to China. She has been visiting the country regularly since 1973 and during this time has developed a special interest in researching and collecting Miao textiles. She is author and photographer of the Odyssey Illustrated guide to Guizhou. Afficher moinsAfficher plus
