Ep. 55 - Harriet Powers' "Pictorial Quilt" (1895-98)
b'Quilts, and textiles in general, have a funny way of being overlooked by the fine art world. They\\u2019re dismissed as craft, as outsider, as \\u201cwomen\\u2019s work,\\u201d or as potentially uninteresting museum exhibits. But some quilts, and some quilters, tell their stories, explain our histories, and simply refuse to be denied.\\n\\nThis episode was produced in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The exhibition \\u201cFabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories\\u201d is on view until January 17, 2022.\\n\\nSee the images: \\nhttps://bit.ly/3jNT4FZ\\n\\nMusic used:\\nThe Andrews Sisters, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen"\\nBlue Dot Sessions, \\u201cMoon Bicycle Theme,\\u201d \\u201cStucco Blue,\\u201d \\u201cCoronea,\\u201d \\u201cLumber Down,\\u201d \\u201cVelvet Ladder,\\u201d \\u201cGale\\u201d\\n\\nGet tickets to the exhibition:\\nhttps://bit.ly/3GAli0M\\n\\nSupport the show:\\nwww.patreon.com/lonelypalette'
