Henry Moore Textiles

edited by Anita Feldman

Moore’s many designs for textiles, only a few of which reached production, have until recently remained virtually unknown. Yet these striking compositions reveal many key aspects of his work and are connected to his belief that art could function as an intrinsic part of daily life. Moore once said that color for him was “a bit of a holiday,” and his work in textiles gave him freedom to experiment in this sphere.

This book surveys and interprets Moore’s fabrics for scarves, dresses, and upholstery as well as large-scale wall panels. Also illustrated are 19 designs for textiles discovered as recently as 2005, alongside many others reproduced in their true and vibrant colors as never before.
