Full Description
Draws from a broad range of history, literature, and multicultural folklore to relate human triumphs over injustice and oppression Dale Gottlieb's Story Rugs draw from a broad range of history, literature, and multicultural folklore to relate human triumphs over injustice and oppression. With transcendent colours and playfully bold compositions, the rugs celebrate human courage and conviction in the face of such tragedies as civil-rights abuses, the Holocaust, and racial discrimination. With an unswerving faith in human potential, Gottlieb gives exquisite form to these tales of freedom with skill, sensitivity, and, at times, humour. Gottlieb creates her rugs with the help of expert carpet weavers working in Nepal.
