Product Description

The artist & designer Robert Stewart was a contemporary of Lucienne Day & one of the few designers she admired. Together they pioneered British textile design after the war. A prolific creator, Stewart produced paintings, tapestries, graphics, ceramics & murals but it is his textile designs that have been the most influential, particularly those produced by Liberty. ' Boat Race' was created by him in 1954 & revived by Liberty in the 90s. A Liberty design classic from the archive exclusive to Simon Carter. Boat Race is an abstract composition with the feeling of a stencil collage, inspired perhaps by Miro. Streamlined & canoe-like horizontal forms are juxtaposed with tall, elegant rhomboids & interspersed with stylised tiny floral & leaf stalk accents. Cleverly rendered in a palette of primary colours, translucency is evoked as the forms change hue where they overlap the mid cerulean ground. This is Modernist fabric design at its best. ' Moore' three button cuff.
