Gerald is absolutely right: this book is wonderful. TASCHEN is probably one of the greatest art editors around and always comes up with great ideas, such as this book who shows-- let's say-- a "hidden" side of Chagall's great talent. There are in fact few people who know that Chagall also mastered the art of tapestry, and this book allows you yo discover the art of tapestry to perfection. Everything in that book is so perfect: the format, the price, the quality of impression, the interesting information... It makes a cute little gift. Once again, excellent work for TASCHEN! I hope that many Chagall fans will discover this great book.
Marc Chagall: Tapestries
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
What a delight to discover an aspect of Chagall's iconology that has only rarely been spotlighted as it is here. Jacob Ball-Teshuva's text is insightful snd very readable (which not every art book can say) and I'm pleased that due attention and credit is shown toward tapestry-weaver Yvette Couquil-Prince. A word about the illustrations. So often one sees how color plates can "suffer in the translation". These, however, are dazzling. This book is superlative. Great things can indeed come in small packages. I recommend this title to anyone interested in the art of Marc Chagall and/or the art and craft of tapestry.
