Nezhnie – Weaver & Innovative Artist by Linda Rees

Fiber Press is proud to carry this fine biography of Muriel Nezhnie Helfman, noted tapestry weaver. Written by Linda Rees, this book has been well received by tapestry weavers, textile historians, and others interested in 20th C. art. In this book, Ms. Rees chronicles the legacy of personal and cultural expression revealed in the tapestries of Muriel Nezhnie Helfman. Nezhnie’s prolific contributions to public art venues, her development as an international artist, and her challenges as a woman, mother and wife are sensitively examined by the author and illustrated with photographs of her work. The book culminates in the development of her most widely recognized work, the seven tapestries comprising “Images of the Holocaust,” and provides a thoughtful analysis of her contributions to tapestry art.
