In the 1930s, an inconspicuous but energetic artist on a small farm in Norway boldly decried the fascist and nationalist machinations arising in Europe. In her monumental tapestries, the artist Hannah Ryggen launched visual attacks against Hitler, Franco and Mussolini, thus positioning herself as an advocate of the victims of fascism and National Socialism. Her woven works were pictoiral manifestos, uncompromising and courageous \u2013 but for a long time, they remained mostly unnoticed by the art world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t

As a primary school teacher, the Swedish-born Hannah Ryggen took evening courses in painting and taught herself how to weave. It took ten years for Hannah Ryggen to master the technique of textile weaving as a medium for her very own form of artistic expression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
