Hardback. Condición: Good. Lenore Tawney (b. 1907) is recognized as one of the leading fiber artists of the twentieth century, who helped transform weaving into a new form of visual art. From the 1960s on, she also created whimsical and ingenious postcard collages. Tawney's dynamic cards, of regulation size, were sent through the mail devoid of any protective covering -- in only rare instances were instructions for special treatment, such as hand stamping, included -- to friends and family members and arrived in excellent condition, testimonial to the postal workers' appreciation of the artist's gifts.Most of the postcard collages were made entirely of paper: photographs, newspaper clippings, magazine ads, musical scores, illustrations from books, antique manuscript pages in various languages, drawings and notes in Tawney's own hand, and assorted other sources. Specific images occur regularly, encompassing animals -- from giraffes and zebras to cats and birds -- and the human element. The postcards subtly develop a range of themes, including childhood, female sexuality, masculine self-aggrandizement, and spirituality. Every collage is embedded with personal references; each card displays a weave of communicative patterns: ornamented words, postmarks, stamps, inscriptions, addresses, printed texts, in turn amusing, satirical, shrewd, and metaphorical.Lenore Tawney -- Signs on the Wind: Postcard Collages pays homage to the talents of this unique artist, who continues to actively exhibit her innovative work.…

"Lenore Tawney was born in 1907 but her career as an artist did not begin in earnest until the age of fifty. Although she studied with various teachers including Bauhaus alumni during the 1940s and 50s, it was after her 1957 move to New York that she created the innovative woven work that challenged the boundaries between fine art and craft. Shortly after beginning her graph paper drawings in 1964, Tawney also began to explore collage. In these works, the pages of antique books were often enhanced with drawing or Tawney's own fine handwriting. She sent hundreds of postcard collages with cryptic, sometimes humorous messages to friends and created a series of collaged books and other objects." (from the Artisit's website).…
