Marie Čermínová - Toyen (1902 - 1980) A TEXTILE DESIGN

This fabric design, which apparently was meant to be used as a curtain, was created by Toyen for the Josef Sochor textile factory in Dvůr Králové. On an ecru background she created a coral-like design in orange, green, blue, yellow and dark brown. The pattern was an inspiration for Zika Ascher, who after seeing this piece started to work with well-known artists (Picasso, Miró and others).
