Anni Albers
At the time Anni Albers wrote On Weaving in 1965, few discussions of Andean textiles “as art” had appeared in weaving textbooks, but there were numerous publications, many of which were German books published between 1880 and 1929, that documented and described their visual and technical properties. Albers almost single-handedly introduced weaving.

Paul Klee
“The affinity between the compositional structures, color planes and geometries of these ancient textiles and works by Paul Klee, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and even Ad Reinhardt or Jasper Johns is frequently noted,” Drake Moraga writes . “Our sense of pleasure in, and ‘familiarity’ with, Andean modes of expression may be largely informed by modern art practices and discourse; its more fascinating corollary, however, is that latter-day abstractionists took significant impetus from the visual ideas and icons of the impressive early American cultures.”
