Lucienne day

Lucienne Day does work on carpets, wallpapers, tea towels and ceramics as well as textiles. Day is not a contemporary worker, she died at the age of 93. She died in 2010 the 30th of January.
Inspired by abstract art, Day launched the use of bright, optimistic, abstract patterns in the post-war England and was eventually celebrated worldwide. Lucienne was a textile designer.

Day has used three colours, white, black, blue and green. There is use of leading lines, drawing your eyes to the center of the image. The use of pattern is strokes across the blocks on colour. The lines have flick and splodges over them to make them look like plants. I don't really like this because i feel that it's to simple.

The use of colours are, red, white and blue. I like the composition of the colours because, they are mirror like. The pattern is just lines diagonal from each other. The texture is smooth. I like this because it's different. I like the way it's mirrored.

The use of colour is black and white. It's simple, but the black line patterns make it stand out more. The patterns are lines that are overlapping and going in different directions. The surface texture is rough. I like the overlapping of the lines, it looks really 3D like. I love the ways the lines overlap to make more shapes. I think that Day has made a good choice of not using anymore colours I think if more colours were added then it wouldn't look good.
