Blue cloth, color DJ. 160 pp. Numerous color and bw plates. "Presented in this volume is the complete collection of textiles from the 1920s comprised within the Textil- und Kunstgewerbesammlung Chemnitz (Cheminitz Textile and Handicrafts Collection), one of the largest collections of quality in Europe. The fabrics reproduced here in a wide selection of color and black-and-white illustrations were acquired after their production as materials for study and inspiration for the benefit of the local textile industry. Today, they offer us a broad survey of the most noteworthy stylistic tendencies of the period. Outstanding examples of textile art from Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Great Britain document general currents in textile design during the twenties as well as regional preferences and short-lived fashion trends. In her introduction, Katharina Metz explores the history of the collection and examines important stylistic and technical aspects of the 185 textiles presented. An essay by the industrial historian Wieland Poser is devoted technological developments in the 20th-century textile industry and their impact upon textile design."--Publisher/WorldCat.
