Nationale feestrok mevrouw Brand 1945 - 1951

"Nationale feestrok mevrouw Brand" is a patchwork skirt created by Dutch artist Dirkje Ariaantje Brand between 1945 and 1951. The skirt is a vibrant mix of colorful fabrics, sewn together in a geometric pattern. The use of diverse fabrics and the patchwork technique reflect the resourcefulness and creativity of people in post-war Netherlands. The skirt's inscription "1993 FEB 1945" suggests it was a personal project, a celebration of the end of World War II. This skirt is a unique example of art as a reflection of personal history and a commentary on societal conditions.
