On a visit to MoDA I was looking at a piece of machine woven fabric from the 1960s. The weave was quite thick and there was a print running from top to bottom, repeated three times. It was quite abstract, reminding me of Picasso's work. The fabric was a beige colour, dirty with use, and the print colours were neutral, in brown, greys and blues. The piece was quite big, but I thought it would have been a smaller sample of the orginal item, maybe used for a wall hanging, curtain or blind.
(The design was made by Alan Munrow Reynolds for Edinborough Weavers as part of the 60s artist movement in fashion and fabrics.)
I have decided to look at the style/date for further research from this item.
