Catalogue de la collection Kahlenberg de textiles indonésiens.

Depuis les années 1970, Mary Hunt Kahlenberg constitue sa collection d'habits de cérémonie et de textiles sacrés venant des quatre coins de l'archipel indonésien. Représentant cinq siècles d'art indonésien et réunis ici pour la première fois sous forme de catalogue, ces textiles d'une diversité surprenante (tissés, batik, tapis de cérémonie, châles, gilets, foulards, etc.) attireront sans conteste l'attention des amateurs d'art, de design et de création artistique.

Les nombreuses et magnifiques photographies nous permettent de voir les tissus en détail et d'apprécier non seulement la richesse et la diversité des couleurs et des motifs mais aussi leur maîtrise technique.
L'ouvrage comprend également des textes d'historiens et d'anthropologues de renom.

"Since the 1970s Mary Hunt Kahlenberg has been building her collection of exquisite ceremonial garments and sacred textiles from throughout Indonesia's chain of tropical islands. Dating from the past five centuries and brought together here for the first time in book form, these woven and batiked hangings, ceremonial mats, jackets, shawls, and head cloths form a stunning array that will draw the attention of anyone with a love of art, fine craftsmanship, and design.
Large, elegantly presented photographs show the textiles in incredible closeup detail and full expanse, making it possible to appreciate their technical brilliance and rich colors as well as the dazzling assortment of intricate patterns and motifs. Including essays by leading anthropologists and art historians, this book brings readers into a world ruled by the belief that weavings communicate with and transform those who come into contact with them.
