She was a name, but unlike so many of the leading architects and designers with whom she worked, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Dreyfuss and Donald Desky, her fame has dimmed since her death in 1972.takes a giant step toward changing that, revealing the breadth and impact of Liebes’ work through dozens of textiles, fashion pieces, furniture, documents and photos.Liebes was a master of color, texture, marketing and bling for decades, starting in the 1930s.
“She pioneered a new role for the textile designer as a partner to industry,” says Susan Brown, the museum’s associate curator and acting head of textiles, who co-organized the exhibit with Alexa Griffith Winton, manager of content and curriculum.A collection of textiles part of the exhibit, “A Dark, A Light, A Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes” (Elliot Goldstein/Smithsonian Institution via AP)

“A Dark, a Light, a Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes,” which organizers say is the first exhibit devoted solely to her in over 50 years, opened in July and runs through Feb. 4, 2024. The title is taken from a Liebes rule for designing textiles, which produced vibrant results, particularly when viewed from today’s tendency toward neutrals and muted shades.People wait to get vaccinated for measles at a health center in Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua state, Mexico, Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

In Cuauhtemoc’s settlement, that’s leaders like Jacob Dyck Penner. As colony president, he and other leaders closed school for two weeks to slow infections, have made a push to show residents they’re working with health authorities, and are encouraging vaccination.Leaders translate health information into Low German, the native language of most of the community. Penner and others are assisting vaccination teams, making sure families know how to access health services.
