Gordon B. Coutts (Scottish/American, 1868-1937) A very fine and large orientalist oil on canvas titled "Ashura Rituals, Tangier" (Arabic: عاشوراء‎ ʻĀshūrā’ - Urdu: عاشورا‎ - Persian: عاشورا‎ - Turkish: Aşure Günü). Signed and inscribed: 'Gordon Coutts/TANGIER' (lower right), circa 1920. Provenance: The Fisher Art Museum, University of Southern California. Gordon Coutts led a peripatetic career, born in Aberdeen, Scotland, he then studied and travelled to Glasgow, London, Paris and Rome before settling in Melbourne, Australia in 1891. In 1896 he moved to Sydney, where he taught at the Art Society of New South Wales, before returning back to Europe in 1899. With the climate of northern Europe detrimental to Coutts' poor health, he moved with his wife, Alice Grey, to the United States where he became a frequent exhibitor at the Bohemian Club in San Francisco. In 1920 he travelled to Tangiers, Morocco where, dressed as an Arab, he passed from tribe to tribe observing the lifestyle, customs and practices of the the village people and Bedouins. The present work depicts the celebration of Ashura. The day of Ashura is commemorated by Shi'ite Muslims; "A day of pain, pilgrimage and pageantry, it is one of the holiest in their religion. The word Ashura means 10, and refers to the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. This is a period of mourning and cleansing, which marks the martyrdom of Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad...

This captivating vintage Moroccan Boucherouite rug is a bold expression of North African textile artistry at its most inventive. The word Boucherouite — derived from the Arabic for "a piece torn from used clothing" — refers to the tradition of Berber women in rural Morocco who created these extraordinary textiles from repurposed cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers, transforming everyday scraps into works of remarkable visual power. This example showcases an ultra-modern abstract geometric composition rendered in a vivid palette of red, pink, French blue, green, purple, brown, and yellow. The dynamic interplay of color and form echoes the visual language of mid-century modernist abstraction — reminiscent of Josef Albers and Paul Klee — where color relationships and structure create rhythm, balance, and movement. No two Boucherouite rugs are alike; each one is a singular, unrepeatable artistic statement. Versatile and visually striking, this textile works equally well as a tapestry wall hanging or a decorative area rug, instantly becoming the focal point of any interior from mid-century modern to bohemian and eclectic. Dimensions: 5’ 8” x 7’ 2” Date of Manufacture: 3rd Quarter 20th century Place of Origin: Morocco Material: Cotton, Wool Condition: Wear consistent with age and use The Persian Knot Gallery, SKU: 1487 Moroccan Boucherouite, Vintage Moroccan Rugs, Vintage Berber Rugs, Vintage North African Rugs, Mid Century Modern Rugs, Vintage Moroccan Kilim, Vintage Berber Kilim, Boucherouite Rag Rugs, Moroccan Rugs Boucherouite, Moroccan Tribal Rugs, Abstract Mid Century Rugs, Nomadic Rugs, Berber Tribal Rugs, Vintage Boucherouite Rugs, Vintage Rag Rugs, Moroccan Rugs, Moroccan Kilims, Josef Albers Rugs...
