Carlson, Art Historian and noted dealer, (1940-2016) Litt was one of the major fabric and tapestry designers in France from the later 1920's through the beginning of WWII. His designs were sought by interior designers, as well as fashion houses. Most of the designs were destined as wall paper or fabric designs. He opened his own design studio in 1927 and quickly emerged as a leading "taste-maker" riding a wave of public popularity for the new and different, fusing the recent art movements of art deco, art nouveau, cubism and fauvism.
