Frida Hansen (born Frederikke Boletta Petersen, born March 8, 1855 in Hillevåg in Stavanger, died 12 March 1931 in Oslo) was a Norwegian tapestry maker in the Art Nouveau style. She is described as a bridge between Norwegian and European tapestry, and several of her weaving designs considered among the best made in recent European textile art. Works of Frida Hansen are in possession of a number of museums, including at the National Museum - Museum of Applied Art in Oslo, Drammen Museum, Stavanger Art Museum and the Nordic Museum in Stockholm.〔(http://erlingjensen.net/Historie/fridahansen.htm )〕 ==Early life== Frida Hansen's parents were Mathilde F Helliesen (1824-1915) and Peter Sickerius Petersen (1811-1875), a merchant and ship owner.〔 Before she married Frida was determined to be a painter, and she received drawing and painting lessons from Bernhard Hanssen, Kitty Kielland and Johan Bennetter. In 1873, Frida married merchant Hans Wilhelm Severin Hansen Stavanger, the brother of the painter Carl Sundt-Hansen. When the father of Frida died in 1875 the couple moved into Köhlerhuset in Hillevåg. Frida was eagerly engaged in building a garden on the property. In 1888 the city was hit by an economic downturn, and the family business Plough & Sundt that Hans Wilhelm ran, went bankrupt. The husband fled abroad for a few years, and Frida was left with sole responsibility for the family. Two of her three children died. In order to obtain an income, she started an embroidery business in her own home. In the embroidery shop old tapestries were repaired and from doing that repair work she became interested in the ancient techniques that were used to create the images. In 1889 she was a participant in the first course in weaving in the country, hosted by Randi Blehr in Laerdal in Sogn. When the introductory course was given Frida Hansen acquired a Oppstad loom, and she quickly began to create her own images. After a short time she started selling tapestries, and she also had exhibitions in several Norwegian cities. In May 1892 Frida moved to Oslo and founded there a "Atelier for national Tæppevæving", complete with a dyeing workshop. Her knowledge about dyeing yarn was the basis for the yarn Husfliden had for sale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frida Hansen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
