About the Item

An Exciting And Rare Vintage Asger Oluf Jorn Expressionist Art Rug, Country Of Origin / Rug Type: Vintage Scandinavian Rugs, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – This fascinating and artistic vintage mid century rug is the brain child of the iconic abstract expressionist artist Asger Oluf Jorn. Jorn’s art work was special and important for a number of reasons. Asger Oluf Jorn is regarded as being a second generation abstract expressionist, and one of only a few female artists and painters to gain sufficient notoriety to have his work displayed in many major museums in the USA and Europe. Jorn focused on gestural painting that was filled with emotion in addition to being quite expressive. Often, his works of art were created by violently flinging paint against the canvas in what she considered to be a social statement. Asger considered his artworks to be under the influence of society and the social trends surrounding his. This beautiful art rug is typical of his work, and highly unique from an artistic point of view. Rather than using black paint on a white background, this one creates striking contrast to what one usually expects. This artistic vintage Scandinavian rug has a combination of heavy and light strokes. It takes the eye on a journey through sweeping curves and then sudden changes in direction that gives the eye many different directions to follow. This captivating vintage Asger Oluf Jorn abstract expressionist art rug is fascinating and will add so much interest to any modern or even retro decor. Not only is this Asger Oluf Jorn art rug beautifully emotional, it is an important example in the history of abstract expressionist art and would make an excellent addition to any collection. This beautiful art rug is a quintessential Abstract Expressionist piece that focused on the emotion of the piece, rather than standard artistic conventions.
