Gudrun Stig Aagaard

Gudrun Stig Aagaard (13 January 1895 – 19 April 1986) was a Danish textile artist who specialized in printed fabrics.

[1][2] Born on 13 January 1895 in the village of Torslunde, Ishøj Municipality, Gudrun Stig Aagaard was the daughter of the factory manager Einar Nielsen (1855–1908) and Elisabeth Margrethe Thomsen (1857–1960).

After using the batik technique for a number of years, she sought a simpler approach to printing fabrics.

She made a number of study trips to England, France and Germany, where she was introduced to textile printing and dye production at IG Farben in Frankfurt.

[3] Her most popular patterns based on floral or abstract contoured designs included Levende Sten (1950), Lianer (1951) and Mohamed (1953).
