I stumbled on Mariska Karasz's work a while back and couldn't believe I had never heard of her before. Her work is incredible, especially for the time. I don't know of anyone else who was doing the kind of embroidery that she was in the 40s and 50s. (If anyone knows of anyone that I don't, please share!) The imagery is bold and colorful. Quirky and sometimes abstract. But it's timeless and beautiful. I would have no idea this work was from 40s and 50s if I were to just see it floating around the internet. Ah, so much inspiration!
