Impressive study of a fascinating subject.By K. KawasakiThis is an excellent book. meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated. Its approach is thematic with an emphasis on various influences that shaped the history and styles of Southeast Asian textile. as well as the cultural significance that textile played in the region. The works examined were primarily drawn from the excellent collection of the National Gallery of Australia. The commentary on each work is detailed in terms of the techniques and motifs. Although it is quite comprehensive in coverage. because it is organized thematically rather than geographically. if you are looking for the styles and examples of a particular culture. youll have to pick through the book. Historical photographs offer additional insights into how the textiles were used throughout the Southeast Asia. The writing is good and easy to follow once you get accustomed to the technical terms. I am new to this subject and my reading probably has not yet assessed the full extent of the books merit.
