Variations On A Loom: The J.B. Moore Collection of Navajo Rugs

This was an exceptional exhibition of Navajo weavings presented at

The American Indian Art Show, 2020 at Fort Mason, San Francisco

exploring, among other things, design origins derived from Oriental rugs

and the marketing and transformation of Navajo weaving during the

begining of the 20th century.

Our images are less than professional but there IS a catolog available

completee with descriptions!  

The following is from the show website, http://marinshow.com/events.php 

"Shown for the first time, this is the private collection of Robert and Anne Smith and will include

more than 45 examples of Navajo weavingsproduced through the J.B. Moore Crystal Trading Post

during the early 1900s. J.B. Moore produced mail-order catalogs featuring hand-woven Navajo

rugs that incorporated Oriental motifs into the traditional indigenous designs. The variations seen

in the finished textiles reflect theweavers' cultural and artistic contribution."
