AMISH ABSTRACTIONS (Quilts from the Collection of Faith and Stephen Brown)
Book Description
With their vibrant colours & bold geometric forms the hand crafted designs reproduced in this book are reminiscent of the great abstract painters of the 20th century. Closer examination reveals that the principles of the Amish faith - simplicity, humility, discipline & community are hand-stitched into each design. Published in conjunction with the Exhibition organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
