Nana Téte de Fleurs by Niki de Saint Phille (1971) |
Dancing. The feminist artist Niki de Saint Phille (1930-2002) produced a lot of large scale Nana papier mache sculptures mostly representing the modern women enjoying herself. Nana (French slang for girl) also appeared in two dimensional media, in this instance on wallpaper. In the early 1970s one of the oldest wallpaper manufacturers in Europe, Marburger Tapetenfabrik, approached a diverse group of international artists to reflect the times. They wanted the wallpaper to be ornamental not just as a background for other objects. They got their wish from Niki de Saint Phille. The series was called XArt Walls.
