Angelo Testa Screenprint Textile, Framed
About the Item
Screenprint on linen with biomorphic animal motifs by Chicago-based painter, weaver, and fabric designer Angelo Testa.

His boldly colored and geometrically abstract designs, using thick and thin lines, solid and outlined forms, and positive and negative spaces, were tailored to the postwar interior design trade, and were used by progressive furniture manufacturers such as Knoll (who also produced some of his patterns), Herman Miller, and Jens Risom. Signed lr in the print. Professionally stretched and framed.

Angelo Testa
Angelo Testa, the son of Italian immigrants, was born in 1918 in Springfield. Testa studied fine art painting and sculpture at the Chicago Institute of Design in the 1940s. In 1947, he set up Angelo Testa & Company, producing hand screen-printed and woven textiles for the many architectural studios of Chicago. Testa developed collaboration in textile design with several companies, including Schumacher's. He was interested in form and line and saw his work as being suited to the new minimal approach towards architecture.
