Indeed, throughout the 1960s and 70s the Royal College of Art graduate and award-winning designer produced a number of striking patterns for Heal\u2019s with styles ranging from op art to pop art, sci-fi to psychedelia &#8211; see her <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/decor-fabric.html\">Decor Fabric (1967)<\/a><\/span> feature in Heal&#8217;s 100. Explaining that her geometric textile designs \u201cwere based on machines and architecture\u201d, Brown created optical illusions using mathematical formulae to suggest a sense of motion. Other tricks included employing strongly contrasting areas of light and shade to give a three-dimensional effect.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitworth.manchester.ac.uk\/whats-on\/exhibitions\/upcomingexhibitions\/barbarabrown\/\" target=\"_blank\">eponymously titled show<\/a><\/span> at the Whitworth Gallery is rather remarkably the first retrospective of Barbara Brown\u2019s work in Britain, and is a must visit for fans of vintage patterns. Running until December 2017, we hope this will be the first of many exhibitions to reassess Brown\u2019s important contribution to 20th-century design.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6837\" style=\"width:
