<p>Known as "the mother of the twentieth-century palette," weaver and designer Dorothy Liebes helped redefine American industrial textile production with her bold experimentation with materials and her post-impressionistic juxtaposition of colors. In the 1930s, she opened her studio in San Francisco, where she first used nontraditional materials, utilizing, in her words, "everything I could lay between a warp," including natural fibers like cotton, silk, leather, and wood, and synthetics like cellophane, Orlon (an early form of acrylic made by DuPont), and (then still novel) Lurex. </p>
<p>In 1948, she relocated to New York, where she moved from handweaving to methods of mass production for the wider market. It was during this time that her work received national praise; Frank Lloyd Wright used her textiles in his interiors throughout the 1950s, and Donald Deskey commissioned from her woven room dividers for the Union Nations Delegates Dining Room in 1961. </p>
<p>These weavings relate to those produced for the UN and are exemplary of what came to be known as the "Liebes look" in interior decorating, a style that was widely copied long after her death in 1972.</p>
<p>From the archives of Dorothy Liebes.</p>
