This painting was created in 1934 and is composed of different shapes and colors placed together in a highly calculated way to create a sense of balance and vibrant energy. This is a masterpiece of geometric abstraction that is comprised of symmetrical shapes that create a maze-like pattern that invites the viewer to delve into its depths. Taeuber-Arp was a master of color and form, and Rising Falling Flying reflects this in her mix of bold primary colors, transforming them into powerful visual tools that electrify the painting. The work is a testament to Taeuber-Arp’s desire to capture the essential vibration of life itself in the interplay between shape and color. What makes this standout piece of art is its unique composition of shapes and colors. The shapes are deliberately positioned to create balance and harmony while giving the impression of unbridled energy. Each shape is carefully placed to help viewers feel as if they are moving through space. The painting’s symmetrical and interwoven shapes were groundbreaking in the art world, and its influence can still be seen in contemporary art today. -- About Sophie Taeuber-Arp: “The intrinsic decorative urge should not be eradicated. It is one of humankind’s deep-rooted, primordial urges. Primitive people decorated their implements and cult objects with a desire to beautify and enhance…. it is a sense emanating from the urge for perfection and creative accomplishment.” Sophie Taeuber-Arp Sophie Taeuber-Arp was one of the foremost abstract artists and designers of the twentieth century. Her sophisticated graphic and textile works are among the earliest Constructivist works. They reflect the interplay between colour and form. She explored the circle as the representation of the cosmic metaphor, the form that contains all others. She and her husband Jean Arp were involved with the Dada movement and were close friends of artists such as Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miró, and Marcel Duchamp. Wassily Kandinsky said: “Sophie Taeuber-Arp expressed herself by means of the ‘colored relief,’ especially in the last years of her life, using almost exclusively the simplest forms, geometric forms. The forms, by their sobriety, their silence, their way of being sufficient unto themselves, invite the hand, if it is skillful, to use the language that is suitable to it and which is often only a whisper; but often too the whisper is more expressive, more convincing, more persuasive, than the ‘loud voice’ that here and there lets itself burst out.” When you purchase a handmade carpet from Rug Your Life, Label STEP Fair Trade Partner, you help improve the lives of the people who created it and their families’.
