Alastair Morton, the visionary art director of the company, commissioned a remarkable series of textiles from leading British artists, including Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, and Elisabeth Frink, as well as artist-designers, such as Marion Dorn, Ashley Havinden, and Lucienne Day. Morton was also a gifted artist, textile designer, and weaver in his own right. This major work traces his wide-ranging career and records the history of Edinburgh Weavers and the glorious textiles it produced. Drawing on the V\u0026amp;A's extensive archive, this impressive book features more than 500 images of artists' textiles, unparalleled in quality and scope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victoria \u0026 Albert Museum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45034823188631,"sku":"9781851776603","price":4920.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781851776603.webp?v=1769211074","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alastair-morton-and-edinburgh-weavers-visionary-textiles-and-modern-art-9781851776603","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
