Textile, Untitled

This is a Textile. It was created by Richard Landis. We acquired it in 2018. Its medium is mercerized cotton double weave.

Landis compares this piece to a symphony, with four “movements,” defined by the obvious cross. A “shadow” is formed by graduating the colors from light to dark in one pattern and from dark to light in the adjacent area, creating the illusion of a 3-dimensional form hovering above the surface.

This object was donated by Richard Landis.

Horizontal rows of black rectangles increasing and decreasing in size to create an optical effect, on silver ground. Graphite black.
