  1. The Victoria and Albert Museum's textile collection

    [London] : Victoria and Albert Museum.

    Covers the history of British textile design from 1940 to the present day. The text explores key themes such as artist-designed and hand-crafted versus machine-made textiles, how the use of abstract and geometric patterning has influenced designs, and derivative design and new approaches.

  2. Artists' textiles in Britain, 1945-1970 : a democratic art

    Rayner, Geoffrey
    Woodbridge : Antique Collectors' Club, c2003.

    This work features illustrations of textiles for fashion (including headscarves) and furnishings designed by artists living or working in Britain for British companies during the period 1945-1970. This was a time of belief in "art for the people" in the new democratic spirit of post-war Britain and has parallels in other media such as school prints. A comprehensive introduction by Richard Chamberlain and Geoff Rayner puts the period in its context, giving a historical perspective and covering contemporary events such as the "Painting into Textiles" exhibition at the ICA in 1953.

  3. The Victoria & Albert Museum's textile collection : woven textile design in Britain from 1750 to 1850
