About the Item

Berber rugs and carpets are mainly made in Morocco, Tunesia and Algeria. Largest producer are the tribal and nomadic Berber people of Morocco. Different areas produce very beautiful works of art. Measures: 8 x 5 ft. This rug was made in a village in the Atlas Mountains, Northeast of Marrakech. The wool from this region is well known for its fine quality and luster. Origin: Morocco Pile material: Fine hand-spun wool Structure: Soft and with a high, plush pile - soft wool Colors: Wool White, Pink, Green, Gray, Blue Design: Diamond Due to the plush and long pile fibers, the rug will shed at the beginning. This is normal for rugs in this type of construction. Influence of North African Rugs on European Modern Art. These abstract designs had a great influence on European Modern Art. An initial date was a travel to Tunis in the year 1914. Paul Klee, August Macke and Louis Moilliet visited Tunesia and their Artworks after that trip showed many new inspirations in abstract design. We recommend a book published in 2013 titled "Marokkanische Teppiche und die Kunst der Moderne" if you are interested in learning about the interaction of Moroccan / North African Art and Modern Art. The Orient had a lasting fascination for painters in Europe. The paintings "View of Tangier" and "Moroccan Landscape" by Eugène Delacroix date from the 19th century. Henri Matisse and Wassily Kandinsky were other painters who prepared the terrain for Paul Klee's trips to Tunis (1914) and Egypt (1928).
