Pattern and Flow: A Golden Age of American Decorated Paper, 1960s to 2000s, is the first expansive survey of American decorated paper arts beginning in the 1960s, a period when the field entered new heights of artistry and commercial success. Featuring spectacular use of color, this lavish and immersive publication includes 280 vivid illustrations of intricate patterns and designs. Its chronological narrative surveys the development of the field and introduces the artists working from the 1960s to the 2000s.  As a grass‐roots art community developed around decorated paper arts in the 1960s, new styles of paper—such as marbled paper, paste paper, and fold-and-dye papers—became a phenomenon across the United States. Pattern and Flow includes a detailed illustrated reference section with essential biographical and professional information for each artist, providing an in-depth look at the knowledge and skills of these pioneering creatives. The book captures the passion that inspired the decorated paper movement through both the text, which explores the rise of the form and its enduring legacy today, and the hypnotizing and often iconic variety of designs illustrated in full color throughout the volume.
