Rug & Kilim’s “Sky and Water II” M.C. Escher-Style Tapestry with Pictorials
About the Item
Handwoven in wool and originating from a contemporary atelier, this 4x6 tapestry depicting “Sky and Water II” by M.C. Escher is an iconic new addition to the Rug & Kilim Modern Classics Collection.
On the design:
This tapestry enjoys a pictorial pattern depicting a transition between two animals—the fish in the lower field and the birds in the upper, meant to have the effect of a seamless transition or even optical illusion where the field changes between its cream and russet brown hues. A chocolate brown border surrounds the field, lending a rich accent to an otherwise playful and light scene anyone can admire on the wall. This design is a perfect example of what Escher famously called creating order from the chaos of everyday life. This masterpiece intertwining birds and fish, breaking free from their geometric confines, symbolizes the Dutch people's liberation from German occupation in 1945, capturing the essence of freedom and resilience celebrated on Liberation Day.
Admirers of the craft may note that this is well-suited for wall display and can be integrated into both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors, with its delicate palette and minimalist composition speaking to a refined sensibility. As a testament to M.C. Escher’s art and the enduring appeal of classical themes in modern design, this tapestry stands as a singular acquisition for discerning collectors who appreciate the intersection of history, craftsmanship, and aesthetic innovation.
