Book Synopsis Amish Quilts and the Welsh Connection by : Dorothy Osler
Download or read book Amish Quilts and the Welsh Connection written by Dorothy Osler and published by Schiffer Craft. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amish quilts always excite interest and admiration but 'Amish Quilts and the Welsh Connection' presents a new perspective on this very special group of American quilts. In comparing the acknowledged visual similarities between Amish quilts and lesser-known Welsh quilts, the author considers how these visual connections could have come about, and whether the Welsh quilt-making style could have influenced the early development of Amish quilts. Author Dorothy Osler presents a carefully argued case for cross-over in design style to Amish quilts from equally dramatic Welsh quilts when Welsh immigrants settled close to Amish communities in nineteenth-century America.

Book Synopsis Amish Abstractions by : Janneken Smucker
Download or read book Amish Abstractions written by Janneken Smucker and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, Amish quilts may appear curiously similar to works by the great abstract artists of the twentieth century. With their vibrant colors and bold geometric forms, the handcrafted designs seem reminiscent of paintings by Joseph Albers, Mark Rothko, and Frank Stella, among others. This visual coincidence invites a deeper appreciation of the quilts and the communities in which they were created. Closer examination reveals that the principles of the Amish faith-simplicity, humility, discipline, and community-are masterfully stitched into each design. Colorful and dynamic, the remarkable quilts radiate the harmony and dignity of Amish life while providing a window onto the history of American art and textile traditions. Published in conjunction with the exhibition organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Amish Abstractions: Quilts from the Collection of Faith and Stephen Brown explores the origins, techniques, and context of these visual masterpieces. More than seventy-five quilts originating in communities throughout Pennsylvania and the Midwest from the 1880s to the 1940s are presented with contributions by three quilt experts: Joe Cunningham, a well-known quilt artist, author, and lecturer; Robert Shaw, an independent curator of numerous quilt exhibitions; and Janneken Smucker, a doctoral candidate at the University of Delaware specializing in quilts from the Amish and Mennonite traditions.

Book Synopsis Amish Crib Quilts From the Midwest by : Janneken Smucker
Download or read book Amish Crib Quilts From the Midwest written by Janneken Smucker and published by . This book was released on 2003-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare collection of 90 antique Amish quilts for children is show-cased in this brilliantly colorful volume. Few antique Amish crib quilts remain because they were put to hard use in large families which typically averaged seven children. But Sara Miller of Kalona, Iowa, herself a member of the Old Order Amish, began building a collection of lovely antique crib quilts which she learned about as the proprietor of a fabric and quilt shop. Thus began an unusual odyssey -- Sara, who once disparaged the quilting tradition of her heritage, thinking it dull and drab, began to see its graphic beauty when outsiders became intent on owning Amish quilts. The richly colorful quilts featured here come from Amish communities through the Midwestern United States. In addition to 90 full-color plates of the exquisite quilts is interpretive commentary and documentation, plus three essays elaborating on the significance of the collection. Author Janneken Smucker descends from a line of quilters in the Amish-Mennonite community of Goshen, IN; Dr. Patricia Cox Crews is Director of the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, NE; Dr. Linda Welters is Professor of Textiles at the University of Rhode Island. Amish Crib Quilts from the Midwest: The Sara Miller Collection is an unusual feast visually. The analyses that accompany the boldly beautiful images contribute scholarship to this intersection of art and the life of the Amish.
