Sentences with phrase «pasted wallpaper samples»

Not exact matches

The patterns which emerge through tearing, pasting and scraping are as much reminiscent of works by Kurt Schwitters or Robert Rauschenberg as they are evocative of Francis Rose's predilection for minor vandalism when surreptitiously removing small samples of particularly attractive wallpapers from French chateaux and English country houses to fashion his very own take on the livre d'or in the 1930s: a scrapbook of wallpaper fragments (acquired by the Whitworth Art Gallery after Rose's 1988 retrospective exhibition at England & Co).
