专家说明

Michael O'Connell founded Mael Fabrics in London in 1937. He sought to modernise the traditional craft of tapestry through the paste-resist batik technique, and drew aesthetic inspiration from folk art, African textiles, and heraldry. Examples of his wall hangings were shown at F.H.K. Henrion's Country Pavillion at the Festival of Britain, 1951, and in the Time-Life building, New Bond Street, designed by Misha Black, 1952-3.
