It was batik from Java's north coast, a region known as the Pasisir, that propelled photographer Inger McCabe Elliott from the world of black-and-white to that of color. "One day more than 30 years ago my black-and-white world exploded into glorious color. It happened in a hole-in-the-wall Hong Kong curio shopthat moment when the splendors of Java's north coast batik burst upon me. Entranced by what I had first glimpsed in Hong Kong, I set out on a new mission: to unravel the mystery of batik," Elliott says. This volume celebrates Elliott's mission, with color reproductions from her batik collection. Scholars from around the world have contributed essays that shed new light on these colorful, intricate, and sometimes fanciful textiles, textiles that have many stories to tell about their creators and wearers; their images and meanings; their historical context and social milieu. Perhaps the most interesting story is that of the artistic flowering of a culturally and ethnically diverse society whose major creative expression was on cloth. An exquisite book. ISBN: 0834803720. Fine in fine dustjacket, protected with mylar cover. [b83].…

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. 1st. 239 pages, illustrations (some colour); 31 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, October 31, 1996 to January 26, 1997. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "The batik designs of Java's North Coast are particularly varied in both design and colour. With their fanciful, highly imaginative motifs and luminous tints, they are more immediately appealing than the sombre blue and brown batik of Central Java. It was a chance encounter in a Hong Kong antique shop that inspired photojournalist Inger McCabe Elliot to devote over three decades to assembling one of the world's finest collections, which she presented to the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art in 1991. This volume, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum, celebrates Elliott's gift and presents her collection. Essays by authorities on the subject examine the 82 featured batik textiles from historical, cultural and aesthetic perspectives. The essays are followed by biographies of some of the most distinguished batik designers and entrepreneurs and a descriptive catalogue of the batiks. Appendices document design formats and motifs, as well as the complete production process of North Coast batiks." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The world of the Pasisir, by Peter Carey; The historical background of batik on Java, by Rens Heringa; From home craft to batik industry, by Harmen C.
