Description: Textiles. Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.- - - By Adolph S. Cavallo.Published in Boston by the Trustees of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1986. The tapestries at the Gardner Museum are justly famous, but there are many other fine textiles in the collection which are too-little known. This fine catalog illustrates and described both Western and Eastern textiles, including furniture covers, painted pieces, vestments & secular costume, laces, embroidered textiles, and woven textiles. And, of course, there is also a section on the tapestries. The Gardner Museum website notes- "Isabella Stewart Gardner [1840-1924], known also as "Mrs. Jack" in reference to her husband, John L. ("Jack") Gardner, was one of the foremost female patrons of the arts. She was a patron and friend of leading artists and writers of her time, including John Singer Sargent, James McNeill Whistler, and Henry James. Isabella Stewart Gardner was also the visionary creator of what remains one of the most remarkable and intimate collections of art in the world today and a dynamic supporter of artists of her time, encouraging music, literature, dance, and creative thinking across artistic disciplines. Over three decades, Isabella Stewart Gardner traveled the world and worked with important art patrons and advisors Bernard Berenson and Okakura Kakuzo to amass a remarkable collection of master and decorative arts. In 1903, she completed the construction of Fenway Court in Boston to house her collection and provide a vital place for Americans to access and enjoy important works of art. Isabella Gardner installed her collection of works in a way to evoke intimate responses to the art, mixing paintings, furniture, textiles, and objects from different cultures and periods among well-known European paintings and sculpture."
