Size: 4 ft 7 in x 6 ft 10 in (1.4 m x 2.08 m) - Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid-20th Century - The abstract composition of this rug is built around tantalizing op-art motifs, shocking colors and bold geometric shapes that are juxtaposed in a patchwork-style pattern. Squares, rectangles and striped compartments play off the opposing colors and highlight the artisanal flat-weave textures. Charcoal browns, inky blacks and shocking carotene oranges are paired with dusky browns, sandy mid-tones and undulating stripes that temper the intensely colored geometric design. Large-scale color blocks, small postage-stamp compartments and elongated rectangles are executed in varied neutral tones and high-chroma hues. These bold elements are arranged in a diverse allover pattern that captures the innately modern style of abstract designs that rely on random patterns and permutations.
