In blue, browns and white with square design (Dimensions: 203cm x 137cm (80in x 54in))(203cm x 137cm (80in x 54in))Footnote: Note: A Centenary: Märta M åås-Fjetterstr öm & Her Legacy 2019 marks the centenary of Märta Måås-Fjetterström establishing her workshop (‘MMF’) in Båstad, Sweden and becoming one of the most significant figures in the history of 20th-Century Scandinavian rug making and textile design. She reversed the decline of traditional techniques, exploring a wide variety of styles and her studio promoted hand-crafted carpets, rugs and wall-hangings that are today highly sought after and prized by collectors and designers. Måås-Fjetterström’s work was widely exhibited, including the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris in 1925 and at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 1929 and her work soon became highly desirable commodities. The modernist architects and designers Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Ray Eames all espoused and endorsed Scandinavian textile design of this period, perceiving its aesthetic quality in complimenting metalwork and hard wood favoured in their modern designs, and this all helped in making Måås-Fjetterström’s studio an important centre for rug and carpet production. With over 700 designs, her work was known for its exceptional quality, craftsmanship, attractive textural characteristics and technical superiority whether flat-weave, knotted pile works or where both techniques were combined. After her death in 1941, her legacy was continued by Barbro Nilsson, who took up the mantle as the workshop’s director, and was joined by the designer Marienne Richter. The workshop creates Märta’s designs and new works in beautifully subtle patterns and colours to this day, and early examples are now highly prized for their virtuosity which influenced and set a standard for Nordic textile design throughout the 20th Century. The following lots show examples of her work and workshop and those who she influenced in mid-20th Century Scandinavian textile design.Condition report: A stain to one corner of the rug, and the odd mark, but subject to the above it appears in good condition.

WW2 print Peenemunde by Frank Wootton. Signed by the artist: Frank Wootton and Squadron Leader Charles Lofthouse OBE DFC , Squadron Leader Norman Scrivener DSO DFC , Squadron Leader Anthony D. Lambert DFC , Squadron Leader Lawrence Pil Pilgrim DFC , Flight Lieutenant Jack Stephens DFC , Flight Lieutenant Geoffrey Whitten DFC , and Warrant Officer Andrew J. C. Pegrum. August 17th - 18th 1943 - German fighters and British bombers battle above the research station at Peenemunde to decide the fate of the Nazi V weapons. During World War II , the Germans built a highly secret research station at Peenemunde laboratories, workshops and an administrative complex designed for creating huge stockpiles of newly developed pilotless airplanes and rockets. Hitler planned to launch thousands of these V-1 and V-2 weapons daily in a saturation onslaught against southern England , calculated to produce the final destruction of their will to continue the fight. The night mission I have pictured, said artist Frank Wootton, flown by Bomber Command , was one of the most effective and important of the war. Six hundred aircraft flew more than 600 miles to wage the attack. Pathfinder flares illuminated the target with burning magnesium and a full moon carved the dark Baltic coastline in sharp relief. A wall of smoke was released in an attempt to hide the facility, but it spread too slowly and too late. In this image , English bombers and German fighters are in combat , set against the bright carpet of fire and explosion. Because of this raid, the great quantities of weaponry required were never realized and the plan to break the English will was defeated in a single blow. Framed and mounted. Military autograph. Good condition Est.
