French Modernist Pile Rug in the Neo Baroque Style

About the Item

One of the main trajectories of French Modernism was dedicated towards a revival of a classical iconography. Motivated from a reaction towards the often rigid and austere mood of the vast majority of Modernist design modules, artists like Louis Süe, André Groult and Andrè Arbus would formulate patterns by borrowing elements of Neoclassicism, reconfiguring them in a style which will eventually be defined as Neo Baroque. This rug is characterised by a decidedly Neo Baroque flavour, with flowing curvilinear motifs of architectural origin on a green background framing a red monochrome open field. This style was popular throughout the second half of the Thirties, supplanted by a completely different aesthetic after the end of World War II. For further reading please refer to J. Sirat, F. Siriex, ‘Tapis Français du XXe Siècle’, Paris 1993, pp. 62-75.
