As an addition to my questions about GrandMa Moses ,, I have found over the years that it is very interesting to see the SAME Artist`s works in Various Techniques. Take Marc Chagall, he started as a painter . But later in life he created quite some stained glass windows, and last not least Our Knesset [Israeli parliament ] has wonderful Tapestries that he designed. mirjam
Charles Rennie Mackintosh's furniture, buildings and stained glass are an excellent example of this. I've seen a magnificent rendition of his 'Wisterias' done as a stained glass quilt. All in shades of pu-pu-purple, but nevertheless it was stunning and a faithful rendition of the original window.
Another time, I attended a Catholic Schools Principals' meeting and the backdrop they used was a colourwash quilt made to resemble the stained glass window in a local cathedral. Somehow, by using careful print selections, the quilter had managed to capture the effect of light shining through glass. I later found out that the quilter was the sister of the nun who made the stained glass window! Both were huge (the works, not the nuns!) I heard the window suffered some damage last year in the big storm that flooded Newcastle. I'm not sure where the quilt is being kept now.
