About the Item

JOHN PIPER CH (BRITISH,1903-1992) :CHIESA DELLA SALUTE, VENICE Screenprinted fabric, printed by Sandersons, 1959 In the late 1950's to the early 60's there was interest in painterly textiles that demonstrated the unique potential of screen printing, with its ability to capture the quality of brush-stroked colour "The monumental grandeur of many artists' textiles in the early 1960's was necessary if they were to work in the large scale architectural interiors of the era which witnessed a rapid growth in new public buildings, all which required furnishing with suitably prestigious fabrics". The painterly design is one of five fabrics designed by John Piper (1902-1993) for A Century of Sanderson 1860-1960, Sanderson's prestigious Centenary Collection. This study of the Chiesa della Salute church in Venice was taken from Piper's 1959 travels when he was commissioned by the Arthur Jeffress Gallery in London. He then regularly made paintings of the city, and drew illustrations for an edition of Adrian Stokes's book Venice. Sanderson employed in-house designers, but also chose accomplished free-lancers to produce designs. The colours are wonderful and were printed on a high quality satinised cotton, Sanderlin. The abstract design is in soft shades of ochre, cream, ivory, green blue, sage green, plaster pink and shades of grey Textile length 54cm, 21¼“ height 44cm, 17½” In a bleached oak double box frame length 72cm, 28½“ height 63cm, 25” depth 2cm, ¾“.
