Recenzii

“[Dorothy Liebes] has all the elements of a 20th-century design legend, but she isn’t a household name yet. This exhibition, and its handsome accompanying monograph, will surely change that.”—Sarah Archer, T List (newsletter, New York Times T Magazine)

“Textile designer Dorothy Liebes emphasized tactility, luminousness, and contrast by combining natural and synthetic fibers in neon shades. . . . [This] book, with essays by seven experts and a comprehensive biographical timeline, accompanies a Liebes retrospective. . . . Ms. Liebes, although underappreciated now, practically blanketed the world with products while battling corporate misogyny. Factories adapted her handwoven samples for mass-market clothing and furnishings, and she lined mansions and offices with sumptuous one-offs.”—Eve M. Kahn, New York Times

“Enclosed in a dark green, cloth-covered case binding with an electric lime-colored serif font and aqua-teal end papers (a nod to Liebes’s penchant for analogous colors), a generous selection of lush, full-page close-ups display her weavings in tremendous detail. . . . With thorough and caring scholarship and curation, A Dark, A Light, A Bright feels like a love letter to the path-forging designer.”—Julie Schneider, Hyperallergic

“Well-researched material will be of use to scholars and collectors [and] will have great appeal for the more general reader. . . . The book is particularly nicely designed. . . . Liebes would have approved. . . . The full-page close-ups of her weaves get as close as a printed page can to a sense of handle.”—Victoria Bradley, Journal of Design History
