Maija Isola (born 15 March 1927 in Riihimäki, Finland, died 3 March 2001) was a leading Finnish designer of printed textiles. Her bold colourful designs made Marimekko famous in the 1960s. She also had a career as a visual artist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maija Isola )〕 ==Life and career== After studying painting at the Helsinki Central School of Industrial Arts, Isola became principal textile designer for Marimekko. In 1964, Isola defied Marimekko founder Armi Ratia's ban on floral patterns, setting the style of the company by painting the famous ''Unikko'' (Poppy) pattern in bold pink, red and black on white; the pattern has been in production ever since. In 1974, Isola designed the popular pattern ''Primavera'', consisting of stylized Marigold flowers; this has since been printed in many different colours for tablecloths, plates and other items.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Primavera )〕 From 1980 to 1987, Isola worked in Marimekko with her daughter, Kristina "who is still one of Marimekko's chief designers";〔〔 Kristina joined Marimekko when she was 18.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.finnstyle.com/marimekko-maija-kristina-isola.html )〕 During her 40-year career with Marimekko, Maija Isola created a "staggering"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://perimeterbooks.com/Maija-Isola-art-fabric-marimekko )〕 500 prints for the company.〔 From 1987, Maija worked on painting, not textiles, until her death in 2001.〔 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「Maija Isola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
