Description
View of drapery fabric entitled, "Backgammon" designed by Ruth Adler Schnee and screen printed by Edward Schnee. This piece was part of an exhibition entitled, "Ruth Adler Schnee: Modern Designs for Living," held at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, MI, December 14, 2019 - March 15, 2020. "With their clean, delineated abstract shapes set against mostly white backgrounds, Ruth Adler Schnee’s midcentury archival textiles are among the purest examples of modernist design. The award-winning designs represented a fresh direction in textiles upon their introduction to the market in 1948 and a welcome respite in interior planning after the challenges of the war years,"--Ruth Adler Schnee 2015 Kresge Eminent Artist (Kresge.org)
