KIMBERLEY HART.
What Josephine saw: Twentieth Century photographic visions of rural Anatolia.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. 247 p., color ills. (What I saw in these kilims) was this combination of color and design. Everybody always said that these women could only copy and that they copied and copied and copied. But within each kilim, there were all of these variations and they managed so well to conform to my concept of what was interesting and what was beautiful. I know that they hadn't woven them for me, but they fell within what I was interested in.", Powell, Josephine.
