Jacqueline Groag: Textile & Pattern Design: Wiener Werkstatte to American Modern

Jacqueline Groag was one of the small group of talented pioneer women designers who were influential in the development of design in early twentieth century Europe. She was well placed to take the principal role in the remarkable post-war renaissance of textile and pattern design. Throughout the 1940s she was the leading designer of furnishing and fastion textiles in Britain, and her imaginative transition of the lively style of Austria’s Wiener Werkstate - combined with her great originalty - contributed considerably to the popular style of the 1950s.
