Tapestry Artists
Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven by hand on a loom. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike most woven textiles, where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each coloured weft back and forth in its own small pattern area. It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colours worked over portions of the warp to form the design. Tapestry is relatively fragile, and difficult to make, so most historical pieces are intended to hang vertically on a wall (or sometimes in tents), or sometimes horizontally over a piece of furniture such as a table or bed. Some periods made smaller pieces, often long and narrow and used as borders for other textiles. European tapestries are normally made to be seen only from one side, and often have a plain lining added on the back. However, other tradit ...

Narcís Comadira
Narcís Comadira i Moragriega (born in Girona on January 22, 1942) is a Catalan poet, painter, playwright, translator, journalist and literary critic. His poetry is rather classical in nature, with a contemplative theme and a certain ironic point of view. As a painter, he understands his work as an extension of poetry. His first works show references to surrealism and pop culture, as well as his master Domènec Fita. In the late 70's he left the figurative painting to begin to represent nature and architecture, specializing in a very personal landscape and marked by realism, which in his latest work is leading to a synthesis of it, where fewer and fewer elements appear in his works. In the Spanish municipal elections of 2015 he occupied the last position of the list of the Popular Unity Candidacy in Girona. In the 2015 elections to the Parliament of Catalonia, he was part of the electoral list of the Popular Unity Candidacy. Works Narrative * ''Girona. Matèria i memòri ...
