Silk scarf II

Silk scarf featuring the scarf sketch of Latvian artists Zenta Logina and her sister Elīza Atāre.

Zenta Logina (1908–1983) was the pioneer of abstractionism in Latvia. In the later years of her creative career, her art underwent a significant transformation from still lifes and landscapes to three-dimensional paintings and abstract tapestries, including numerous sketches for scarves and other textile products.

To emphasize a unique part of Latvian art history – the artistic heritage of Zenta Logina, Team Zuzeum, together with the curator of the exhibition, Sandra Krastiņa, chose three textile sketches. These were made in Italy from a 100% silk fabric.
