(English / German Edition)
Felice Rix-Ueno studied under Josef Hoffmann, a
co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte (1903-1932). Inspired by the
Japanese formal language, she formed her own style, which was expressed
in particularly imaginative fabric and wallpaper patterns, fashion and
home accessories, and wall paintings.
After her marriage to the
Japanese architect Isaburo Ueno, she moved to Japan in 1926. Here they
created joint works that received much attention, such as the Star Bar
in Kyoto, which was shown in the famous exhibition Modern Architecture in New York's MoMa in 1932.
Felice Rix-Ueno, who was already prominently represented in the successful MAK exhibition Women Artists of the Wiener Werkstätte, is given a substantial monographic treatment for the first time outside Japan with this catalog.

Felice
Rix-Ueno studierte bei Josef Hoffmann, einem Mitbegründer der Wiener
Werkstätte (1903-1932). Inspiriert von der japanischen Formensprache
bildete sie einen eigenen Stil aus, der sich in besonders fantasievollen
Stoff- und Tapetenmustern, Mode- und Wohnaccessoires sowie
Wandmalereien ausdrückte.

Nach ihrer Heirat mit dem japanischen
Architekten Isaburo Ueno übersiedelte sie 1926 nach Japan. Hier
entstanden gemeinsame Arbeiten, die viel Beachtung fanden, wie etwa die
Star Bar in Kyoto, die 1932 in der berühmten Ausstellung Modern Architecture im New Yorker MoMa gezeigt wurde.

Felice Rix-Ueno, die schon in der erfolgreichen MAK Ausstellung Die Frauen der Wiener Werkstätte
prominent vertreten war, wird mit diesem Katalog erstmals au erhalb
Japans eine substanzielle monographische Aufarbeitung zuteil.
