A Ryijy elö hagyomanya : A Finn Szönyeg 1707-2012 között : Tuomas Sopanen Gyüjtemény = The Ryijy Lives On : Finnish Ryijy Textiles 1707-2012 : From the Collection of Tuomas Sopanen
32: Néprajzi Múzeum, 2013. 1st Edition. Softcover. If one should choose a textile most typical of Finland, it would certainly be the hand-knotted ryijy-rug. For many centuries ryijys have been made by Finnish women (and sometimes also men) and in many homes a ryijy still hangs in a place of honour on the wall bringing a touch of softness and cosiness. One of the aims of this collection is to show how inventive the women in Finland have been from the 18th century until today and how developed their sense of beauty has been. Ryijys are the best testimony of this. In addition, their gradual development from folk art into internationally appreciated textile art is most interesting. Collector Tuomas Sopanen aims to be able to show the development and the beauty of the Finnish ryijys with examples of various types. 119 pp. Text in Hungarian and English. Gorgeous color photos of some of the most striking rugs! Fine. Item #574
