review 1: Wonderful. Full of color. Behind the scenes anecdotes. Inspiration in words and pictures. I only wish he had revealed a bit about his romantic relationships. I feel a bit rude saying that, but I felt that he could have mentioned it to complete the picture of his life. I assume that his studio partner is also his life partner, and I'm interested in how their relationship inspires his work. I know my husband has an influence on my work and we are not in the same field.
review 2: I've liked Kaffe Fassett's sense of color since I first saw the book Glorious Knits, and then Glorious Needlepoint. This book gives an idea how he started out in California and then through various world travels and living in England developed his extraordinary sensitivity and boldness wi... moreth color. He has also delved into mosaic, patchwork & decorating, in books and also in TV productions, which I didn't know about. We get to see and hear about his many influences and the people he has met through the years. Also featured are many of his own paintings.His chapters are: Childhood in California 1937-1956; Striking Out on My Own 1956-1964; England in the Swinging Sixties 1964-1969; My Design Work Takes Off 1970-1979, The Glorious Eighties 1980-1989; Finding Color in a Gray World 1990 and beyond. less
