Note du spécialiste

Olga Fisch (1901-1990) was born in Hungary and settled in Quito, Ecuador, in 1939, where she set up a workshop guiding local artisans to produce some of the most remarkable modernist carpets ever made. Fisch's "Caverna" series translates modernist idioms into the textile arts, integrating copies of animal drawings from cave paintings at Lascaux in southwestern France (including the famous spotted calf) with her own illustrations in lively, modern-looking designs.
