About the Item
This listing is for a "Picture Blanket" (hand crochet craft work) and also includes a small brochure and a signed offset lithograph print of a picture rug by her. this is done in an Arts and Crafts, Folk Art style. (Outsider Art or Naive art)
Brigitta Valentiner Bertoia was born in Berlin, Germany in 1920, She was the author and illustrator of eight books including poetry and her life story. She invented picture blankets by weaving her illustrations onto blankets.
She was the wife of Harry Bertoia, a renowned sculptor, graphic artist, and designer of furniture and jewelry. Harrywas born Arieto Bertoia in San Lorenzo, Italy. After immigrating to Detroit in 1930, he studied and later taught at Cranbrook Academy of Art, where Charles Eames and Eero
Saarinen were instructors. By 1939 Bertoia was teaching metalworking at Cranbrook and experimenting in the print shop; his monotypes—a creative endeavor he continued throughout his life—and his jewelry garnered early recognition. In 1943 Bertoia married Brigitta Valentiner, the daughter of prominent art historian and Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art director William Valentiner, and moved to California. While working at the Eames Office in Venice, Bertoia was involved with defense projects and
the development of molded-plywood furniture. After leaving the Eameses in 1946, Bertoia made jewelry and monoprints that were shown at the Nierendorf Gallery in New York. His jewelry exploring sculptural form and the play of light on metal was featured in the exhibition Modern Jewelry under Fifty Dollars at the Walker Art Center (1948). From 1947 to 1950 Bertoia worked in the publications department at Point Loma Naval Electronics
Laboratory in San Diego. During this period he shared a studio with designer Barney Reid and continued to make prints and jewelry, exhibiting with the Allied Craftsmen of San Diego beginning in 1948. He also began making sculpture. Bertoia left California for Pennsylvania in 1950 to develop his iconic wire chairs produced by Knoll Associates. In 1953 he left Knoll to concentrate on welded-metal sculpture, the focus of his work for the rest of
his life.
