This book  part of the multivolume series of the International Quilt Study Center collections  recovers a swath of that lost history and shows us some of Americas treasured material culture as it was pieced and stitched into place.  American Quilts in the Modern Age  18701940 examines the periods quilts from both an artistic and a historical perspective. From pieced block to Crazy style to Colonial Revival examples  as well as one-of-a-kind creations  the full array of style and design appears in this book covering seven decades of quiltmaking. The contributing authors provide critical information regarding the modern and anti-modern tensions that persisted throughout this era of Americas coming of age  from the Civil War to World War II. They also address the textile technology and cultural context of the times in which the quilts were created  with an eye to the role that industrialization and modernization played in the evolution of techniques  materials  and designs. With full-color photographs of over 587 quilts  American Quilts in the Modern Age  1870-1940 offers a new visual and tactile understanding of American culture and society  bridging the transition from traditional folk culture to the age of mass production and consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960684798005,"sku":"ByrdShop_0803220545","price":47.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780803220546.jpg?v=1788292322","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/american-quilts-in-the-modern-age-18701940-the-international-quilt-study-center-collections-9780803220546","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
