Thyra Hamann-Hartmann
Thyra Hamann-Hartmann (born October 30, 1910 in Posen ; † February 8, 2005 in Berlin ) was a German textile artist, art teacher and image maker .
Hamann-Hartmann attended the Higher Technical School for Textiles in Berlin in 1938 and then switched to the Krefeld Textile School on a scholarship. There she shaped the former Bauhaus teacher Georg Muche . From 1940 to 1942 she was his assistant. She also learned from the painter Oskar Moll .
In the post-war period she was one of the leading textile artists in western Germany, and her artistic biography records more than 80 exhibitions and exhibitions. From 1950 she headed the textile class at the Werkkunstschule in Bielefeld . She left teaching in 1976 and from then on devoted herself to picture knitting in Berlin.
The Bauhaus influence was evident in the graphically colored surface and structure of their fabrics, later free forms, nature and landscape motifs were added.
At the loom she only worked according to composition sketches, not according to a pre-painted draft. Thyra Hamann-Hartmann once described her art like this: My tapestries are all large-format and designed in relation to space and wall .
