{"product_id":"65995-sofie-dawo","title":"Sofie Dawo","description":"Sofie Dawo was one of the most important artists in concrete textile art in the second half of the 20th century. With a willingness to experiment and based on the principles of the Bauhaus, she developed her own artistic position. She radically turned away from traditional forms of weaving and explored the essential properties of both established and new materials in her works, often in series. The characteristics of her fabrics and materials formed the basis for moving beyond the two-dimensionality of the woven surface and into space.\u003cbr\u003eThis publication draws from the estate of her long-overlooked oeuvre, which includes not only woven pieces but also previously unknown drawings. Both groups of works demonstrate how much Sofie Dawo understood her weaving as an autonomous genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOFIE DAWO (1926–2010) was a visual artist and art educator. After studying textile design at the State School for Art and Crafts in Saarbrücken, she initially designed works for industry before teaching weaving and fabric printing, and from the early 1970s onwards, also design.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45585836081416,"sku":"9783775756211","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756211_72bcc85a-c85b-4b1a-a304-78dfb28f75d6.jpg?v=1745308849","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65995-sofie-dawo","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
