Originally trained as a painter, Ryggen began weaving on a standing loom on her self-sufficient farm on the West coast of Norway. She challenged the formal traditions of Norwegian 17th- and 18th-century textile folk art, combining figurative and abstract elements. She also experimented with and developed colors using local plants and other materials she foraged. Her tapestries bravely tackled the social issues of the time, from the atrocities of war to the abuse of power. She created work in direct response to Hitler, Franco, and Mussolini and made powerful statements of support to the victims of Fascism and Nazism. This book features about 25 of Ryggen's signature tapestries including \u003ci\u003eEtiopia (Ethiopia)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Dr mmed d (Death of Dreams)\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVi lever p  en stjerne (We Are Living on a Star)\u003c\/i\u003e. It shows her work representing a different kind of modernism where elements of folk art and mythology are mixed with contemporary life. Haunting and powerful, Ryggen's work was unprecedented at the time, as it expressed her political messages to the public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marit Paasche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3791359266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783791359267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prestel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 9.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Marit Paasche","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075210146047,"sku":"9783791359267","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fd3dd54-a33e-4fb9-aef1-54eec911cec1.jpg?v=1685458239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hannah-ryggen-marit-paasche-9783791359267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
