Amish: The Art of the Quilt, co-authored by Robert Hughes and Julie Silber, showcases 82 abstract geometric quilts from the Esprit Collection. Primarily crafted by Pennsylvania Amish women between 1870 and 1950, the collection highlights the bold colors and rigorous design principles rooted in their culture’s emphasis on order and simplicity. Renowned art critic Hughes challenges traditional distinctions between “folk” and “high” art, affirming the purity and power of these textiles as a unique American art form.
