Tapis et Tissus, présenté par Sonia Delaunay

I've been working on an exhibition that's opening at the Cooper-Hewitt on March 18, Color: Moves: Art and Fashion by Sonia Delaunay. Seeing the material in person the last couple weeks has been super exciting, but I also discovered some amazing stuff during research for the show. The Cooper-Hewitt has a design library with the most fantastic and beautiful rare books, including Tapis et Tissus. Published in 1929, the book has a foreword by Sonia Delaunay, and features a couple of her textile designs, and designs chosen by her, including some from the Bauhaus weaving workshop (Anni Albers!). The patterns are incredible, and sometimes so contemporary looking it's crazy!

Drawing in class again. Poster ladies (including the amazing Loie Fuller) after Cheret and Grasset, and a visiting professor.

A couple photos I found at a Toronto flea market.

Also posted by Tyler at Wens and Nobs and Distortions of the Trunk, a fantastic tumblr.

I always thought of Norway as green and blue, but now I know it's all pink and silver.

Just because I draw in class, doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.

Modern dancers are arguably the most enjoyable thing to draw.
