Antonín Kybal (1901 - 1971) A TAPESTRY

Antonin Kybal was the most distinctive Czech home textile designer and textile production innovator of the 20th century. As an artist and later as an educator, he lifted textile work from its position as a conservative, waning traditional craft to an entirely independent means of artistic expression corresponding to the language of modernism. Kybal's main contribution was his ability to place high demands on aesthetics, craftsmanship and materials in industrial production and interweave them with contemporary aesthetic trends.
