Kaffe Fassett: The Artist's Eye

Dennis Nothdruft (Ed)

Description

Kaffe Fassett (b. 1937) is one of the most recognized names in contemporary craft and design with work encompassing knitting, needlepoint, quilting, textile design, mosaic, painting and drawing. His sense of colour and pattern has inspired makers around the world and his inimitable eye can translate the most everyday of details into the basis for one of his colourful, sophisticated, maximalist designs.

This book explores Fassett’s career and work in context for the first time, highlighting and widening the scope of his output over more than five decades. Drawing on original artworks, photographs and archival material, it illuminates the work of this distinctive, influential artist and designer. Essays from design and fashion historians sit alongside striking visual material and insightful interviews with Fassett that provide additional context about this prolific artist.
