About the Item

Patrice Allard, a French artist born in 1945, is renowned for his paintings and tapestries. He studied under and worked as a collaborator with Victor Vasarely from 1967 to 1980. Allard's experimentation with Kinetic tapestries and Optical textile art flourished during the 1970s. This artwork presented today - a cubist-inspired horse - is a perfect opportunity to appreciate Allard's mastery. It is one of the early figurative embroidered works he has performed, depicting the horse's body not mimetically, but using different geometric shapes - sets without perspective - multiplying the subject's angles of vision on a flat surface. Appears curves in dialogue with simple pointed shapes borrowed not from the reality of vision but from the reality of conception. Allard's expertise in assembling the pieces creates the illusion of movement and reinforces the horse's robust, elegant, powerful, and proud features intensified by a work of warm hues around brown, yellow and orange. It sits in a patinated gold frame. Textile art, such as tapestries, has long been valued for its ability to promote reflection and tranquility, uplifting the soul and enhancing personal spaces. As a result, it has remained a favorite among art enthusiasts for centuries.

Mid-Century hand Knotted Tapestry of Galloping Horse in Earth Tones
Located in Barrington, IL
This stunning mid-century handwoven tapestry captures the dynamic energy of a galloping horse, rendered in vibrant earth-tone hues that shimmer with movement and life. A true piece of vintage textile art, the composition evokes the dreamlike, expressive style of Marc Chagall’s murals at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York. The horse’s powerful form and the bold use of color bring a painterly quality to the weaving, blending fine craftsmanship with artistic imagination. The rich palette of browns, golds, ochre, and deep reds enhances the sense of motion, giving the tapestry an almost three-dimensional depth. Perfect for collectors of mid-century modern décor, equestrian art, or lovers of Chagall-inspired aesthetics, this piece is not only a decorative statement—it’s a conversation starter and a rare example of artisan handwoven textile art from the mid-20th century.
