h how wonderful are these paintings by the amazing Kaffee Fassett. I saw an exhibition of his huge canvases in Liberty's many moons ago, and fell in love with the way he paints the patterns and not really the forms so that the whole thing could then be very easily translated into a tapestry or patchwork...the colours are so gorgeous and inspirational....
ARENT THEY GLORIOUS - WHAT A SHOT OF COLOUR JOY THESE WOULD BE ON A WALL! I LOVE HIS KNITTING, QUILTS AND TAPESTRIES ALL OF WHICH YOU COULD SPOT ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM AS HIS. I HAVENT SEEN HIS PAINTINGS BEFORE SO THANKS FOR GIVING THEM AN AIRING!

I, too, have always been a huge fan of his.....colors, patterns...and the joy that he puts into his designs.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty remarkable, n'est-ce pas?

In the late 80s I had a diary The Inspirations of Kaffe Fasset. On every alternate page were pictures or photos which contained inspiration for him. And every page was wondrous. I haven't seen his paintings previously either - omg Danielle how wonderful to live in the UK and go to exhibitions at Liberty albeit years ago. Of course his regions of colour need to be simplified to translate into textile media... love it.
