Content and Structure

Scope and content

German. White lawn worked with white cotton shadow work and French knots. The quotation reads 'Dann sol ches ist ge schehen auf dass die schrifterfuellet wuerde' (then it came to pass, so that the word would be fulfilled). This work was inspired by the Hungertuch Lenten hangings which were a popular source at the Schule fur Handwerk and Kunstegewerbe. At a time when imagery was constrained such religious depictions were at odds with the political regime and that they are being used as oblique references to the artists' and students' political and social concerns.
