Average Rating: Rating: - Long Over Due!!! Congratulations!!!! A few of these women are my aunts and they have been working so hard at this all their lives, I am so happy that they are finally getting the recognition that they deserve. They used to make so many quilts when we were younger and just give them away to family members as Xmas gifts, now they are being hung in museums around the US and I have proudly displayed my childhood quilts so everyone will know just how proud I am of them!!! Now I know the Pettway woman will always be remembered for the proud and strong women they are. Rating: - don't let the word "quilt" fool you! A coffee table art bk. This is truly a coffee table art book, not just a "quilt" book. The quality of the photographs, book paper, etc. has the look, feel, and smell of a fine art book. I was very impressed. The quilts themselves are beautiful -- some were more my taste than others, I'll admit; but all respectable. Many of them had a very modern art feel to them-- brilliant colors, textural, geometric. The supplemental photographs and text are also wonderful-- crisp black and white photos of the artists and worthy biographies. These are the best examples I've seen of African-American quilts, and indeed this is a stunning art book all the way around. Rating: - A Celebration of Women's Art! This quality book details the beauty of the women and the quilts of Gee's Bend. I look forward to seeing the exhibit next week in New York, for the simple elegance of these works of art are not to be missed! I am thankful someone had the insight to appreciate and celebrate the special arts women have created throughout the centuries!
