Lore Kadden Lindenfeld (April 27, 1921 – April 8, 2010) was a German-American textile designer. She taught visual arts at Middlesex County College. Her work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions internationally.[1][2]
Lore Kadden Lindenfeld was born in Wuppertal, Germany, to parents Frieda and Alfred Kadden. She attended school at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf, where she studied fashion design; however, she was shortly forced to flee to the Netherlands due to Nazi rule. A year later, her family moved to the United States where she began a living as a seamstress and salesperson. Lore took classes at Harvard and attended the Institute for Social Progress at Wellesley College as well.
From 1945 to 1948 she attended Black Mountain College, graduating with a degree in Weaving and Textile Design.
She earned a master's degree in Creative Arts Education from Rutgers University in 1982.[1]
Careeredit
Lore's first post-graduate employment was as a design assistant in a textile plant in New York where she helped design women's coats and dresses.[2] She was one of the first women to become an industrial textile designer.[3] She then became a designer for Kanmak Textiles. Lore soon devoted her time raising her two children and as an independent weaver, creating pieces that represented her founded knowledge of patterns, colors, and designs.[1][4] She started the weaving department and was a faculty member in the Visual Arts department at Middlesex County College from 1968 to 1986 and taught weaving at the Princeton Adult School for many years.
