This weekend consisted of catching up on work, catching up on emails, catching up on yoga, making red lentil soup, going to a dinner party, reading magazines, and finishing a book. It’s amazing how the rain can keep you indoors if you live in Southern California. The catching up on emails led me to the Cooper-Hewitt online catalog where I spent a couple of hours obsessing over textiles, mostly those by the Wiener Werkstätte collective. I never tire of looking at those prints. The combination of shapes and color that they used was so ahead of their time and I’m continuously in awe of the level of skill and artistry they possessed. And aside from the Wiener Werkstätte, the Cooper-Hewitt has some remarkable textile work by both known and unknown artists; about 585 pages to be exact. I should warn you ahead of time that you shouldn’t visit the site unless you have a couple of hours to spare.
