About the Item

An important French Mid-Century Modern thick pile carpet in wool known as "1930" in a Cubist Design by Sonia Delaunay. Documentation: Monogrammed SD at corner of carpet. There is a cloth tag on rear stamped: Edited par ARTCURIAL, Signed "S Delauney" and numbered #35/100. Sonia Delaunay was the first to adapt the principles of Analytical Cubism and Collage to textile design endorsing her husband theories of simultaneous contrasts. Delauney had discovered the rich color palette of the Fauves and like the Futurists sought to convey a sense of speed and movement in her work. The original piece was designed for the living room of Dr. Charles Viard c. 1925, who was Delauney's doctor and an avid art collector. This rare piece was edited by ArtCurial in Paris, circa 1970 and is signed by Delaunay on the reverse. Sonia Delauney was part of an early 20th century international movement in the arts that saw the fine and decorative arts as one whole process. This movement crystallized itself in the German "Bauhaus" school, beginning in 1919, where teaching was unitary between fine art, performance and designing industrial products. These approaches were revolutionary in thought and action. Sonia Delauney designed whole environments that incorporated painting, furniture, textiles, fashion and art. Her processes are illustrated in the "1930" carpet where she uses bold, dynamic colors against bold, geometric forms. The original of this carpet is in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. In 1970 an edition of 100 carpets was authorized and signed by her. This carpet is from that edition and they are now rare to find. Literature: A similar model is published in Art Deco and Modernist Carpets, Susan Day, Cronicle Books, San Francisco, 2002, p. 115.
