Ruth Marie Reeves (1892 - December 23, 1966) was a painter, Art Deco textile designer and expert on Indian handicrafts ==Biography== She attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn from 1910–11, and won an Art Students League's scholarship in 1913. In 1920, she travelled to Paris and studied with Fernand Léger. Returning to the United States in 1927, her designs were influenced by modern developments in France like Cubism.〔 (extract hosted at Answers.com)〕Lewis Mumford called her wall hangings and dresses inspired by traditional Guatemalan designs shown in 1935 "probably the most interesting work any designer has offered for commercial production today." One of her best-known works was the carpeting and wall fabrics of Radio City Music Hall in New York. The ''Index of American Design'', one of three main divisions of the Federal Art Project was originally conceived by Reeves and Romana Javitz, and Reeves became its national supervisor in January 1936. After 1956, she lived in India, where she served on the All-India Handicrafts Board. She died in New Delhi in 1966.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruth Reeves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
