| "Gathering images for my book was one thing, putting them together and finding the visual thread which continued my exploration of Venice was quite another. Accompanying my looking I gained insight and pleasure from the texts and textures of Ruskin, Proust, Fortuny, Adrian Stokes and two contemporary writers Paul Hill and Deborah Howard. What I found was A Venetian Brocade: a material object decoratively wrought to be held in the hand and contemplated. To this Marina Warner has contributed a wondrous story – weaving a dazzling thread of her own within this book." Helen Douglas (from the 'Introduction and Acknowledgements') | |
