Banbrytande formgivning i Sveriges textilindustri En studie om Astrid Sampes mönsterproduktion
Abstract
The main focus of this study are the textile prints created by Astrid Sampe (1909-2002). Her fabrics can tell us more about her than a biography ever could. They can reveal how we experience patterns, why we are attracted to them and how our preferences can evolve over time. This study examines four different patterns, and the thesis aims to define Sampe and her textile prints using three different theories and a formal aesthetic analysis. Modernistic and postmodernism theories are relevant when explaining the period where the fabrics were created and how Sampe's ideas were conceived during her lifetime. The study also has a feminist approach to understand how other people perceived Sampe’s work. This study provides insight into the world in which Sampe worked and how the public viewed her.
