In textiles it seems to me it is rather the same inversions of color & form that create a notable design. The artists drawing only comes to life when the colours of which it is composed are changed about by the printer in almost as haphazard a way as in a kaleidoscope to form new and unexpected harmonies. - Julian Trevelyan
