Quilts and Color Event Lecture Ebook Version

In the spring of 2014 the Boston Museum of Fine Arts opened an exhibit called "Quilts and Color". The core elements of the exhibit were antique quilts from the Pilgrim/Roy collection chosen for their vibrant color and strikingly “modern” patterns by the exhibit curators and the collection owner, Gerald Roy. To provide context Gerald presented scheduled lectures during the exhibition. The exhibition drew record numbers - approx. 150,000 visitors. To create this presentation on Basic Color Theory exemplified by the exhibit Gerald called on the talents of his friend and collaborator, Robert Guaraldi who provided photography and presentation building skills. All of the quilts and paintings used in the lecture are from the Pilgrim/Roy collection and original works by Gerald. What follows is a written version of the lecture including core material w/accompanying artwork, and material we could not fit into the original lecture. This book contains over 75 Illustrations/quilts.
