Lindenfeld was a student at Black Mountain College from 1945 to 1948. There she studied design and color with Josef Albers and textile design with Anni Albers and Trude Guermonprez. She graduated with Marli Ehrman, textile designer and former Bauhaus student, as her examiner. This textile sample demonstrates a synthesis of Lindenfeld’s studies in both color and weaving. The threads that form the horizontal bands reveal subtle variations in color as they interlock and colors merge. Using spaced threads in the floats, Lindenfeld introduces line into the composition. As the threads move in and out of the fabric, each column a single color, they interact with the background, at times virtually merging and at others standing in sharp contrast. Lindenfeld designed textiles for industry and later created pictorial weavings, many drawing on her studies of embroidery in Europe.
