Many of these were inspired by early twentieth-century avant-garde art, notably by Italian Futurists, such as Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni, and their English contemporaries the Vorticists, including Christopher Nevinson and Edward Wadsworth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn anticipation of Liberty's 150th anniversary, renowned couturier and interior designer Federico Forquet has curated a striking new range of fabrics--the \u003cem\u003eFuturLiberty\u003c\/em\u003e Collection--that carries Liberty's creative heritage into our own age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Futurist and Vorticist art that lies behind the new designs is explored by specialists Ester Coen and Richard Cork, while archivist Anna Buruma examines Liberty's rich history of avant-garde designs. By illuminating the process by which the \u003cem\u003eFuturLiberty\u003c\/em\u003e Collection came into being, this highly visual study also reveals how art can inform design, making it contemporary, relevant, and engaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ester Coen, Richard Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500026718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500026717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 11.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023 pg. 88","brand":"Ester Coen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190689591551,"sku":"9780500026717","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71e31b99-1c90-432d-b50e-68524d886240.jpg?v=1690871861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/futurliberty-ester-coen-9780500026717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
