5.0 out of 5 stars COLORS EXPLODE FROM THE PAGES, Jan 24 2002

Judith Miller (Bluemont, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Welcome Home (Hardcover)

This book features photographs of Kaffe Fassett's
home where he apparently does most of his work.
Beware, this book is not for the exponent of
monochromatic themes. Mr. Fassett lives with his
art and the colors in his house explode from the
pages of WELCOME HOME.

The artist says that "the house is like a constantly
changing set." In fact, his entire home appears to
be a working studio. On page eleven there are
pictures of the same room decorated in two distinct
and different styles, where even the fireplace mantle
has been changed.

From the papered or hand painted walls, to the quilts,
needlepoint rugs, chairs and pillows, the home abounds
in colors, textures and patterns. It's a treat to
just look at the photographs. If you feel so inclined,
the instructions are given for making some of the
quilts, rugs and pillows.

It's interesting to view the home environment of a
successful working artist and to see how different
objects are collected and used as sources of future
inspiration. I particularly enjoyed the pictures of
Mr. Fassett's blue and white pottery collection which
is also a favorite of mine. I also liked seeing his
bookcase, which from the point of view of a book
collector, looked well used and filled with cherished
books.

The section of the book called Museum Tour, shows
various exhibits of Mr. Fassett's work as a textile
artist. These photographs are from his show at the
Minneapolis Institute of Fine Art.

I highly recommend this beautiful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars JUICY colors!, May 23 2004

Aisling D'Art "artist and author" (Portsmouth, NH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Welcome Home (Hardcover)

If you're in a design or artistic rut and need something to "jump start" your creative visions again, this book is well worth owning.

Fassett challenges all the truisms of decor and many of the fundamental rules of art, and celebrates life and color with his fabulous visual concepts. Savoring each photo in this book... Well, it's like eating the best sherbet in the world, but for your creative spirit.

If you want your environment to enrich you and welcome visitors with extraordinary and JUICY colors (and color combinations), it's worth finding a copy of this book. I recently acquired a copy (after being "on the fence" about it for too long... what WAS I thinking...?) and wish that I'd snagged a copy sooner.

I honestly can't think of any kind of art or artist that wouldn't be very positively influenced by this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warms your Heart with the magic of color, Oct 5 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Welcome Home (Hardcover)

Absolutely Beautiful. He is a master of color design and employs the essence of the earth with the soul. A keepsake that will be cherished forever.

This book is wonderfully written and his work is inspirational. Knowing the fabric choices and patterns are available is great comfort. His work in his home can also be yours.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not up to Kaffe's usual standards
For the price, this isn't a quality book. The paper is not up to the standards in other books by Kaffe, although Welcome Home lists at the same or a similar price. Read more
