Bio:
Swedish textile art of the 1930s combined traditional weaving techniques with an increasingly modern design language. Natural motifs, simplified ornament and clear colour compositions were prominent features in the work of Swedish textile artists of the period. Works were frequently produced as unique handwoven pieces for both private interiors and public settings. Based on the information available, the work cannot be securely attributed to a specific textile artist.
