Printmaking
Marianne Strengell was an American textile artist and weaver whose practice emerged from the postwar craft revival. Working primarily in handwoven textiles, she developed a formal vocabulary rooted in modernist abstraction and the structural possibilities of the loom. Strengell's work bridged fine art and functional design, establishing her as a significant figure in the mid-century American craft movement.
