International talent

Felice “Lizzie” Rix-Ueno (1893–1967) was an Austrian textile, wallpaper, and craft designer. She lived in Japan, and became an influential figure in the Japanese modern art scene Felice “Lizzi” Rix-Ueno (1893–1967) was known for the vibrant works of design she produced from her bases in Vienna, where she was born, and in Kyoto, where she settled after marriage. 

This collection looks back at her fantastical oeuvre, from wallpaper and wall decorations to cloisonné items, textiles, and accessories. Inspiring essay contributions by women who have forged their own expressive path—like Lizzi—in their chosen fields of art, literature, and design add further dimension to the exploration of her appeal. 

I wish I could find more on her.
