Program Drawing To Determine The Alignment Of Full Tones, 1967
This is a Program Drawing to Determine the Alignment of Full Tones. It was created by Richard Landis.
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Richard Landis as part of Color Decoded: The Textiles of Richard Landis.
This early drawing shows the artist painstakingly working out every possible color interaction, with the full tones—where a weft crosses a warp of the same color—rendered as solid squares. “Though I had no computer, I always felt that while I was designing, working out setups and then weaving them off, that I was in the field of computation,” the artist has said.
It is credited Richard Landis.
