An examination of the textile designs of artist Henry Moore. The book illustrates and discusses his original drawings (several unrealised), upholstery and dress fabrics, wall hangings, and squares for Ascher. Textile design allowed Moore to mix abstract and figurative elements with bold colour combinations. The key book on a little-discussed facet of Moore's output. The preferred hardcover edition.
