Diese Arbeit basiert auf dem vom Jubiläumsfond der Österreichischen Nationalbank geförderten Forschungsprojekt Nr. 7726 des Institutes für Kunstgeschichte d. Universität/Wien, unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Peter Haiko Das Künstlerehepaar Jacques ( *5.2.1892/Olmütz - † 26.1.1962/London) und Jacqueline Groag (recte Hilde Blumberger, *6.4.1903/Prag - †13.1.1986/London) gehört aufgrund des Umstandes, daß sie 1938 als Juden emigrieren mußten, heute zu den vergessenen Vertretern der Wiener Moderne der Zwischenkriegszeit. Der Architekt Jacques Groag, zu Beginn seiner Karriere Mitarbeiter von Adolf Loos (Villa Moller/1927) , Ludwig Wittgenstein (Haus Wittgenstein/1928) und den Innenarchitekten Friedl Dicker/Franz Singer (Clubhaus Heller/1928), realisierte zahlreiche bemerkenswerte Projekte in Wien und Mähren (u. a. ein Doppelhaus der Werkbundsiedlung, Villa Paula Wessely, Landhaus Eisler, diverse Einfamilienhäuser und Industrieprojekte ) und galt seinerzeit als einer der bedeutendsten Schüler von Adolf Loos. Groag war insbesondere auch auf dem Gebiet der Innenarchitektur sehr erfolgreich und war mit zahlreichen Wiener Künstlern (Sergius Pauser, Josef Dobrowsky, Georg Ehrlich, Trude Fleischmann) befreundet. Seine Frau Jacqueline Groag, eine Schülerin von Franz Cizek und Josef Hoffmann an der Kunstgewerbeschule/Wien, war in der Zwischenkriegszeit als Textildesignerin für die Wiener Werkstätte und namhafte Pariser Modehäuser tätig. Nach der Emigration nach England 1939 konnte Jacques Groag seinen Beruf jedoch nur mehr als Innenarchitekt und Möbeldesigner ausüben, Architekturaufträge blieben aus. Dahingegen wurde Jacqueline Groag mit ihren auf der Ästhetik der Wiener Werkstätte basierenden Stoff - und Tapetenentwürfen zu einer der führenden und einflußreichsten Designerinnen der Nachkriegszeit in England (u. a. Modellkleid für Queen Elizabeth, Aufträge für Bahn - und Schiffahrtslinien). Das Ehepaar hatte als Designerteam auch an mehreren großen britischen Ausstellungen der Nachkriegszeit mitgewirkt. Jacqueline Groag, die ihren Mann um rund zwanzig Jahre überlebte, war bis in ihr hohes Alter erfolgreich tätig..

Although originally Czech, she studied textile and pattern design in Austria in the 1920s. During the late twenties and early thirties she designed textiles for the Wiener Werkstatte in Vienna and subsequently designed and produced unique hand printed lengths of fabrics for many of the leading Parisian fashion houses, including Chanel, Lanvin, Worth, Schiaparelli and Paul Poiret. She was awarded a gold medal for textile design at the Milan Triennale in 1933 and another gold medal for printed textiles at the Paris World Fair in 1937. Jacqueline was not only a serious and highly respected contender in the field of textile and pattern design but, with her husband, the Modernist architect Jacques Groag, was also deeply immersed in the intellectual life of Vienna. In 1938 the sophisticated world of Jacques and Jacqueline was brutally shattered when the Anschluss, the political unification of Austria and Germany, occurred and the German army entered Vienna.

Women Textile Designers of the 20Th Century Curated with Gray M.C.A
Women Textile Designers of the 20th Century Curated with Gray M.C.A. 11 July – 29 August M E S S U M S Y O R K S H I R E The history of Britain is intricately linked with the history of textiles and their vital role as an economic driver for the British economy. Never more so than following the Second World War. As the dark clouds of war lifted, domestically there was a desire for change, for colour, and for inspiration, and this change began in the home. The energy and innovation of British- based women textile designers was destined to revolutionise design world-wide for decades to come. Prior to, during and immediately following World War II, emigrés arrived in Britain bringing new ideas and perspectives that were to revolutionise 20th Century Modern British design. Influences from Vienna’s Wiener Werkstatte, Gropius’s Bauhaus and the bright colours of the West Indies joined with new Modernist thinking in Art Colleges across the country to ensure that in the post war period ‘Textiles by Britain’ were set to have a global impact. This exhibition celebrates the vision of these pioneers of 1950s - 70s textile design and seeks to re-introduce their iconic work to new collectors as well as to those who lived surrounded and uplifted by their bold vision and style. Throughout the period, this inspired group of women artists brought modern and contemporary art into the home through their textile designs and truly democratised modern art by making it a part of the furniture.
