Vintage Pablo Picasso Colombe Avec Fleurs Carpet 46885

Vintage Art Carpet, France, c. 1950 – This sublime French art carpet immortalizes an iconic work of art and the legacy of Picasso, one of the greatest artists of all time. This distinctive work titled ‘Colombe avec Fleurs’ makes a poignant statement with its simple, elegant lines and playful primary colors. Chalky blurred outlines with feathered edges give this true-to-form rendition a painterly realism. Luxurious ecru negative space frames the matted picture, which becomes an artful focal point. Throughout Picasso’s oeuvre, the ambiguous colombe, which hovers between a dove and pigeon, is a strong thematic character that appears again and again. From childhood sketches to the peace conference dove and this bouquet-bearing rendition, Picasso was continually refining and distilling the essence of this iconographic creature, which the artist revived as a symbol of peace and freedom in the modern age.
