This transformative exhibition explores how abstract art and woven textiles have intertwined over the past hundred years.

In the 20th century, textiles were often considered lesser – as applied art, women’s work, or domestic craft. Woven Histories challenges the hierarchies that have separated textiles from fine arts. Putting into dialogue some 130 works by more than 45 creators from across generations and continents, the exhibition explores the contributions; weaving and related techniques have made to abstraction, modernism’s pre-eminent art form.

See a variety of textile techniques including weaving, knitting, netting, knotting and felting. Learn about the wide-ranging reasons artists from Anni Albers to Rosemarie Trockel and Jeffrey Gibson (Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians/Cherokee Nation) have engaged with this art form. Some seek to effect social change; others address political issues. Engaging with textiles as subject, material and technique, still others revitalize abstraction’s formal conventions or critique its patriarchal history and gendered identity.

Follow this hidden thread of art history to discover the work of creators who were once marginalized for their gender, race or class.

The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration with the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

These playing cards feature details of prints by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). 

Includes: One deck of standard-sized playing cards (54 cards) plus two additional cards featuring art and an artist bio.

Under the direction of John R. Porter & Pierre Théberge, in collaboration with Anne Sophie Lemieux & Madeleine Lacerte 

Beyond the immediate charm of some of his subjects lies Lemieux's eloquent vision of our vast space, our northern sensibility and our collective soul — a soul torn between the nostalgia for the past and an unknowable future. He was able to vividly capture in his work the solitude of individual human existence, thus giving it a universal dimension. To mark the hundredth anniversary of his birth, this catalogue has been designed to give as much space as possible to a visual panorama of the artist's work. We hope that all those who peruse this catalogue will be touched by the universality of the work of Jean Paul Lemieux. 

Homage to Jean Paul Lemieux is published by the National Gallery of Canada in association with the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and Galerie Lacerte.

This monumental triptych was first exhibited in Canada in 1963 as part of the artist's retrospective at the National Gallery of Canada, and its title refers to a Spanish dance that originated in the 16th century. The dance incorporates a stately and processional rhythm, which is captured in the energy and movement of this painting.
