1960s Anna Thommesen Unique Handwoven Carpet with Geometric Pattern

About the Item

Anna Thommesen is a self-taught Danish painter and weaver. Already during the 1940s, the weaving became the primary way she unfolded her creativity. She is mostly known for her straight-line, geometric patterns. As is the case with this carpet, they are usually symmetrical, both vertically and horizontally. Her gentle and natural colouring is due to her approach to the colours. She is inspired by the colours in the Danish nature, and she taught herself early on how to boil down plants to subsequently dye her yarn with these natural pigments. The work process always started with a watercolour inspired by the colours of nature, and the colours were in this way always the starting point in her work. She developed the patterns based on the colours used. This work process resulted in weavings that showed a harmonious unified whole in the interaction between colour, shape and pattern. In the 1950s, she developed her style to include more complicated patterns which required the greater technical ability she had achieved at this point. However, she returned to the more simpler patterns that have become characteristic of her work and which she is primarily associated with as an artist. This 1960s Anna Thommesen's flat-woven handmade carpet is in excellent condition. They are of the highest quality and one of the best examples of sublime Danish textile craft. Her works are found in the collection at The Design Museum Denmark, the exhibition at the Amalienborg Museum in Christian VIII's Palace and the National Gallery of Denmark. In 1957, Anna Thommesen had a collaborative exhibition with Finn Juhl at Design Museum Denmark. From 1940 until her death in 2004, Anna Thommesen was married to the sculptor Erik Thommesen. Finn Juhl's furniture, Anna Thommesen's carpets and Erik Thommesen's sculptures are often shown together. For example, in Finn Juhl's house at Ordrupgaard.
