The fine details of art history sometimes needs unpicking for us mere mortals, but here’s a refreshing eample where the story is pretty clear – how Bernat Klein used an abstract oil painting of the colours present in a tulip to inspire a woven textile some years later. Klein often used enlarged close-up photographs of sections of his paintings in the textile design process.
They’re both currently on display in Bernat Klein: Design in Colour at the National Museum of Scotland.
