Dear Julian
I am overjoyed by the aesthetic cosmopolitanism and delightful range
showcased in your Louis Lang page... tres jolie!! Cheers to your
website for projecting a truly Parisian designer's genius for
'transcreating' Oriental Chintzes and Modernist Art into wearable
printworks. As a Couture-specialist and a woman of style, I would
happily shut my eyes and wear ANY of these marvels of modern design.
On a different note: if you exhibit some of the more Matisse-inspired
pieces such as 'Waves' & 'Green Leaves' (without the dull cast that
appears on these small scans on your page!) I am sure a gallery
display would look exactly like a full-fledged Contemporary Art
exhibition. Do try this -- if you have not already.
William Morris would have been rightly proud of Lang, and many
contemporary designers today will benefit from observing his free,
confident calligraphic 'Kalighat' brush-strokes.
As an artist born in India, I am thrilled to observe the clearly
'Jaipur Ceramic' inspiration in Lang's 'Blue & Yellow' and 'Pink &
Blue', and the Indian block-print paisley inspiration in 'Garlands'.
What a truly international designer Lang was... and an impeccable
artist.
I agree with you completely that Real Art needs to be 'mongered', i.e.
Touched, Smelt, and Hung Up on a Wall !! You are a Fine Fishy Monger
indeed, dear Julian Hartnoll. Many thanks for your discerning eye,
sense of true Joi De Vivre, and total dedication.
Congratulations on your unique collections. Keep it up, and all the best!
