"This beautifully illustrated book tells the fascinating and multidisciplinary stories of the widespread desire for Indian chintz over 1,000 years to its latest resurgence in modern fashion and home design. Based on the renowned Indian chintz collections held at the Royal Ontario Museum, the book showcases the genius of Indian chintz makers and the dazzling variety of works they have created for specialized markets: religious and court banners for India, monumental gilded wall hangings for elite homes in Europe and Thailand, luxury women's dress for England, sacred hangings for ancestral ceremonies in Indonesia, and today's runways of Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai."--

This collection examines cloth as a material and consumer object from early periods to the twenty-first century, across multiple oceanic sites—from Zanzibar, Muscat and Kampala to Ajanta, Srivijaya and Osaka. It moves beyond usual focuses on a single fibre (such as cotton) or place (such as India) to provide a fresh, expansive perspective of the ocean as an “interaction-based arena,” with an internal dynamism and historical coherence forged by material exchange and human relationships. Contributors map shifting social, cultural and commercial circuits to chart the many histories of cloth across the region. They also trace these histories up to the present with discussions of contemporary trade in Dubai, Zanzibar, and Eritrea. Richly illustrated, this collection brings together new and diverse strands in the long story of textiles in the Indian Ocean, past and present.

Cet ouvrage sans précédent met en lumière l'art encore méconnu du tissage africain. De l'Afrique de l'Ouest à celle de l'Est en passant par le Mali, le Cap Vert, le Ghana, le Nigeria, le Cameroun, le Congo jusqu'à Madagascar, ces pages vous plongent dans un panorama de créations textiles éblouissant. Organisé de manière géographique et présentant les particularités de chaque territoire, le livre invite à découvrir des pièces uniques au sein des cultures qui les ont façonnées. Les oeuvres, pour certaines encore inédites, proviennent de collections publiques (musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac à Paris, Metropolitan Museum de New York, Musée d'ethnologie de Lisbonne, British Museum de Londres etc.) ainsi que de collectionneurs particuliers. Tenture nuptiale, vêtements du quotidien (boubou, pagne, tunique, châle ...) ou encore tenues talismaniques, riche est le répertoire de textiles commentés. Coton, laine, soie, écorce battue, perles : les matériaux se succèdent au fil des pages en une myriade de techniques et de couleurs. De l'ikat au "velours du Kasaï" - qui a inspiré les artistes contemporains tels que Klee et Matisse -, l'inventivité plastique et esthétique déployée par les artistes africains témoigne d'une imagination intarissable dans l'art du tissage. Alliant la qualité graphique à l'expertise scientifique, les 200 notices et leurs 300 illustrations, offrent un éventail chamarré de motifs et de matières, qui ravira le regard des amateurs et des connaisseurs
