birds of a feather

photos from the beautiful collier campbell exhibition at the national theater.
amazingly vibrate with painterly touches every where, i had the real feeling of snooping around a studio. getting up close to designs so familiar was very special.

ascher

as i have been busy production printing for a/w 2010 i wanted to post some great pictures i found of screen printing at the ascher studio london during the 1940's. ascher textiles was founded by zika and linda ascher in london after they left prague in 1939. ascher are most well known for their artist commissioned silk scarf designs from the likes of matisse and henry moore and their floral designes used by doir and schiaparelli.
