BATIK - A Play of Light and Shades by Irwan Tirta
Product Description
This hard-to-find book is a must for anyone interested, not only in batik, but in textile design generally. It is, moreover, a joy to read as it presents the information in an interesting and accessible way. It is illustrated throughout with good color photos of the batik designs under discussion, and with photographs (both color, and black and white archival images) showing how the designs are made, and how the finished cloth is worn. Anyone reading about batik for the first time cannot fail to be enchanted by Iwan Tirta's story, and anyone fortunate enough to own the book will treasure it always.
The approach is historical, charting the development of the art of batik over the centuries, but presenting it in terms of a dynamic art that has evolved with time to accomodate changing tastes and technical enhancements.
