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. "1920-1940’S FRENCH TEXTILE DESIGNS BY ATELIER ARTHUR LITT A prominent French textile designer, Arthur Litt (Paris, France, 1905-1961) established the leading textile design atelier in the late-1920s in Paris. Featuring an oeuvre of striking abstract designs and a bold use of color, the Atelier Arthur Litt was a major contributor to the field of modern textile and fabric design from the 1930s through the Second World War. Original stencilled gouache designs on paper are numbered and bear the red ink stamp on verso: Dessins Industriels Paris Arthur Litt. Original gouache designs by Atelier Arthur Litt are in the collections of Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University." Courtsey Munroe Fine Art
