How to read Islamic carpets / by Denny, Walter B.,author.(CARDINAL)724242; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.),issuing body.(CARDINAL)147619;

Includes bibliographical references (page 141).Reading carpet technique -- Stylistic evolutions -- Tracing carpet history. The origins and early development of knotted-pile carpets ; Workshop carpets : commercial products and court designs ; Domestic carpets : village and nomadic weaving -- Reading carpet symbolism -- Beyond the Islamic world.Carpets made in the "Rug Belt" - an area that includes Morocco, North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and northern India - have been a source of fascination and collecting since the 13th century. This engaging and accessible book explores the history, design techniques, materials, craftsmanship, and socio-economic contexts of these works, promoting a better understanding and appreciation of these commonly seen and frequently misunderstood pieces. Forty examples of Islamic carpets are illustrated with new photographs and revealing details. The lively texts guide readers, teaching them "how to read" clues present in the carpets that allow them to deconstruct the history, techniques, significance and materials in each piece. Denny situates these carpets within the cultural and social realm of their production, be it a nomadic encampment, a rural village, or an urban workshop. This is an essential guide for students, collectors and professionals who want to understand the art of the Islamic carpet.

Alison Weld / by Weld, Alison G.,artist.(CARDINAL)881322; Jones, Rachel Elizabeth,writer of essay.; Luebbers, Leslie,writer of essay.(CARDINAL)283323; Ricco/Maresca Gallery,publisher.(CARDINAL)877651;

Surface Tension: The Generative Contrasts of Alison Weld / Rachel Elizabeth Jones -- Sacra Conversazione / Leslie L. Luebbers -- Plates -- Alison Weld CV."Alison Weld has been an abstract painter for more than 30 years. She believes that her work is a visual diary; revealing responses to both the natural and social worlds. Weld looks to abstraction--either creating her works or contemplating those of others--for evidence of a passionate response to life. Searching out the abstract present in all artworks, the artist takes in thoughts of color and line, movement and proportion, surface and scale, ultimately asserting that abstraction is visual philosophy--however intuitive and silent it may appear. She employs both density as well as openness in her works on paper. In these works, she embraces either a state of a fully-worked ground or welcomes the simplicity and sparseness of the paper itself. Many of these works on paper relate to her painting diptychs, such as Home Economics, 1994-2002, through their juxtapositions of an overlay of dots, color, line and form. The works are metaphors for contrast and dichotomy, male and female, external and internal forces, themes central to all her art." -- From publisher's website."My body of work reflects my identity as a woman artist born in 1953, at a time when women were still marginalized. I see my works as autobiographies of a woman. My early "Shower Curtain" series (1980 - 1983) incorporated domestic materials often associated with women, like using plastic shower curtains as a painting support. These feminist works were followed later by diptychs consisting of an oil painting juxtaposed with a panel of upholstery fabric or fake fur, a series entitled "The Home Economics" (1994-2002). "The Flower Juxtapositions" (2003-2006), diptychs comparing a panel of painted artificial flowers to an oil painting, continues to talk about the personal and the external using material contrast and dichotomy to discuss in part the female condition, my condition. My current series, "Ordinary Lives" (begun 2008), employs an intimate scale to speak of the domestic realm and the familial history of women. I had begun to work small in 2007, creating works on maple panels which were soon followed by the gesso boards. My concurrent series of sculptural juxtapositions continue my gender-based creation as well as evoke the natural world, the home, my youth, and the female gender. I see the works as visual poetry. My colors are my words. I see abstraction as visual philosophy. I believe my painting's surface to be a film of consciousness. Reflecting on my experiences over three decades, I wrote "Ghost Letters," a series of letters addressed to deceased artists--male and female--offering my perspective on being a woman artist and on the women artists before me and my contemporaries. I placed the text on my website as a juxtaposition to the body of works which record my life as an artist. " -- Feminist Artist Statement from:"Born in 1953, I was raised in upstate New York. I knew from an early age that I wanted to be an artist. I received a BFA from the College of Art and Design at Alfred University and a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, then I moved to New York City. I have been working more than three decades. As an artist, I look to the past as well as to the moment and believe I am part of the continuum. It has been important to have had the stimulus of New York City's museums and galleries for thirty years. I was also fortunate to be a soul mate of the late Stella Waitzkin, the aesthetic mother of my choice whom I knew well for almost twenty years. For twenty years I was also a soul mate of Miriam Beerman, a painter thirty years my senior who received the first woman show here at the Brooklyn Museum. I regard my body of work as my family. My paintings, drawings and sculptural juxtapositions are my children and grand children. My various series and my exhibition history are my genealogy. In 2010, I had a thirty year retrospective at the Art Museum of the University of Memphis, "Art Is My Natural World: Alison Weld, 1980-2009" and previously in 2006 a mid-career survey, "Allegories of Strife, The Diptychs of Alison Weld," held at the Springfield Museum of Art in Ohio. I have had more than twenty solo shows. My work is in the collections of the Everson Museum of Art, Kresge Art Museum, Radford University Art Museum, New Mexico State University, William Paterson University, Rider University and Rutgers University Newark, the Art Museum of the University of Memphis, among other public collections.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 333-343) and index.This ambitious publication centers indigenous perspectives on traditional artworks from Africa by focusing on the judgments and vocabularies of members of the communities who created and used them. It explores cross-cultural affinities spanning the African continent while respecting local contexts; it also documents an exhibition that is extraordinary in scope and scale. The project's overriding goal is to reconsider Western evaluations of these arts in both aesthetic and financial terms. The volume features nearly 300 works from collections around the world and from the important holdings of the Art Institute of Chicago. Although it emphasizes the sculptural legacy of sub-Saharan cultures from West and Central Africa, it also includes examples of artistic traditions associated with eastern and southern Africa as well as textiles and objects designed for domestic, ritual, and decorative functions.
