English Costume of the Later Middle Ages: Fourteenth-Fifteenth Century : Spiral
Highlighted Features
This volume deals with two centuries of costumes and fashions, taking us from basic fourteenth century utilitarian tunics and gowns to the clothing of the Early Tudor period and the start of the English renaissance. Miss Brooke's drawings detail the fundamental differences and similarities, both in idea and style, that persisted throughout the period. Primary sources are used to show the development of the garments and point us to direct references for patterns. There are specific illustrations for hair, shoes and hats as well as the various layers of men's and women's clothing, each divided by the appropriate periods within a century. The drawings are paired or grouped in economic, social or cultural categories to assist in visualizing the relationships of clothing and people for historical and theatrical reference. General diagrams of certain garments are shown so a pattern could be developed for making the garment as well as for an understanding of how that garment was made. The style of the drawings is related sympathetically to the primary manuscript sources upon which they are based; but the garments are shown in a clear style that allows the reader to understand how convincingly wearable each piece of clothing could have been. The reader will find this a concise and lively source with enduring value for costume and fashion reference as well as an ideal place to find helpful suggestions, ideas, and general background for costume design.

Masterpieces of Tapestry from the Fourteenth to the Sixteenth Century
Highlighted Features
The present exhibition is one of a series of five worked out in the partnership between the Metropolitan Museum and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux of France. The others are: Nineteenth-Century French Drawings from The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Italian Renaissance Drawings from the Louvre, shown at the Metropolitan in October 1974; Impressionism, which included some forty-five of the greatest paintings in the style and was seen at the Louvre in September and here in December 1974; and finally, French Painting from David to Delacroix, which opened in Paris in the winter of 1974, followed by showings at the Detroit Institute of Art in the spring of 1975 and the Metropolitan in the summer.Following its appearance at the Grand Palais in Paris, Masterpieces of Tapestry was presented in New York in association with and under the patronage of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts, and under the sponsorship of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Heller of New York City. Without the extraordinary aid of the two Endowments and the enlightened generosity of these two art-loving private patrons the exhibition simply would not have been possible here.As one contemplates such treasures as the enormous tapestry from the Apocalypse series at Angers, the incomparable six pieces of the Lady with the Unicorn from the Cluny Museum (shown for the first—and probably last—time with The Cloisters' Hunt of the Unicorn set), the four wonderful pieces lent us by the Hermitage in Leningrad, the pieces from the Cluny Museum of the David and Bathsheba set, and the famed Winged Stags from the Cathedral of Rouen, it may be worthwhile to note what tapestries themselves are in the broad perspective of history. As early as art is recorded we are aware of man's urge to transform interior walls from simple, mute surfaces into panoramas of triumph, acts of faith, or modes of decorative splendor.
