Strachan, the Studio, Dec. 1955 Louis le Brocquy, Seven Tapestries, The Dawson Gallery, Dublin 1966; Ulster Museum Belfast 1967 Louis le Brocquy, Dorothy Walker, Introd. John Russell, Ward River Press, Dublin 1981; Hodder & Stroughton, London 1982 It is remarkable that the international reputation acquired by Louis le Brocquy as a designer of tapestries was solely based on seven initial works, including Allegory, designed some fifty years ago. These are the years which span his 'grey' period in painting, during which he completed his largest canvas, A Family, which was awarded a major prize at the Venice Biennale in 1956. Allegory is the artist's third tapestry design following Travellers (1948) and Garlanded Goat (1949-50), it is contemporary with A Family, but the theme is treated with gaiety and with monumentality, surprising in its modest dimensions. A relationship may be perceived between the paintings of this period and the tapestry, not evidently in colour or mood, but clearly in drawing and in its characteristic planes. Allegorical allusions appear to include a sun, a moon, the winding of a skein of vermillion wool and the emergence of a child. The tapestry belongs to a series of early weavings that vary in colour and size from later versions woven within the same edition of ten by the experts Lissiers of the 17th Century firm of Tabard Frere et Soeurs in Aubusson, France. It is held that no artist from these islands has shown a deeper understanding of the medium of tapestry than Louis le Brocquy.

ANTONÍN KYBAL 1901 - 1971: A TAPESTRY 1935 Hand-woven rug, wool & cotton 184 x 110 cm Antonin Kybal was the most distinctive Czech home textile designer and textile production innovator of the 20th century. As an artist and later as an educator, he lifted textile work from its position as a conservative, waning traditional craft to an entirely independent means of artistic expression corresponding to the language of modernism. Kybal's main contribution was his ability to place high demands on aesthetics, craftsmanship and materials in industrial production and interweave them with contemporary aesthetic trends.
