Andreas Felger\u2019s creative roots lie in textile design. In 1950, at the age of 15, he began his apprenticeship as a pattern designer at Pausa AG, a successful textile company in M\u00f6ssingen, Swabia. The company director encouraged Felger\u2019s artistic talent by giving him freelance commissions, which enabled him to study art in Munich from 1954 onwards.

Between 1959 and 1980, he rose to become one of the leading designers at Pausa AG. Over 1,000 fabrics, including the well-known \u2018Afrikana\u2019 and \u2018Mexikana\u2019 series, bear witness to his enormously versatile and innovative textile design work during those years.<\/p>\n

At the same time, textile design also inspired Felger\u2019s fine art, which he presented for the first time in 1974 in a solo exhibition of prints held on the premises of Pausa AG, a company with a keen interest in the arts. Numerous original fabric designs preserved on paper demonstrate that the masterful style, striking patterns and brilliant colour schemes of his commissioned textile works find parallels in the Woodcuts<\/a>, Watercolours<\/a> and Oil paintings<\/a>, he created as independent works. The exhibition WERK.STOFF<\/a> \u2013 THE TEXTILE IN ART (M\u00f6ssingen 2015) vividly demonstrated how closely Andreas Felger\u2019s pictorial world is interwoven with his textiles repertoire.<\/div><\/div>Continue \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
