Tapestry in Today’s. World —

. ‘The reylval of interest.in our own flitte is partially at-
tributable to a reaction against r quality in mass--
produced merchandise and synthetic e fabrics. Another fac
tor is that modern painting of the abstract school.
lates well into tapestry. And again — today's architecture
is stark and severe, and in need of color, just as were
mediaeval castles, Hence decorative wall hangings are
again serving a true function, even if they are no longer
needed to keep out the cold w
- Today we have not only the professional weavers intra~
ditional workshops, but also the small-scale production of : .
. the artist-weaver. Even more notable, perhaps, is the
prominence of the individual craftsman, ‘most often a
vvaftswoman, who expresses herself in ‘the related tech-'
niques of needlepolmt and crewel embroidery. -
-Many of today's experts in needlecrafts are members of
the Embrolderess’ Ghiild of America, an faucational, non-.
profit organization whose purpose -is to n hig.
standards of design, color, and workmanship inal all kinds
of embroidery and canvas work, Th ts New: York:
office, the Guild carrles on a variety. of Potivities, includ-
ing a quarterly publication, a Teferanes library, and ocea- —_
slonal contests. Sst
The modern illustrations. we show are (fourtesy of the - ”
Embroiderers’ Guild, as they are among the e winning de-
signs in a Christmas Card competition held by the Guild. -
They are interesting modern interpretat tions of the tapes- -. .
try themes of the past. ;

opportunity of extending to alf.my

very merry Christmas, and a_
