A Beautiful Floral Design Vintage French Tapestry, Country of Origin: France, Circa Date: Vintage mid 20th Century – This vintage mid century modern French tapestry is a beautiful piece of Abstract Expressionism that captures the tranquility and peace of a pond with gently rippling waters. The vibrant ivories, pinks, yellows, and oranges stand out as a stark contrast to the gentle blues of the flowing water.
Several things stand out about this work and the way the artist made use of space. The focal point is in the bottom left quadrant of the painting. This is an unusual placement of the main element and it causes the eye to move from left to right and from bottom to top. The direction of the line is enhanced by highlights in the water that make it appear to be rippling and flowing in that direction.
The artist creates movement by clearing a path in the plant life and creating water that appears to flow in that direction. The water may either be flowing from top to bottom, or bottom to top. It is up to the viewer to decide. The ability to create flow and motion using expressionist techniques is reminiscent of the works of French artists in the earlier part of the century. This beautiful and unique wall hanging tapestry uses an earlier concept and gives it a modern character through choice in color and use of the space.
This is a beautiful French tapestry that combines warm and cool colors in a vibrant way that would brighten any space. It demonstrates a mastery of artistic technique and the ability to translate expressionist painting into the medium of tapestry.
This fantastical signed tapestry showcases a spectacular abstract expressionist composition with stylized floral figures that have impressive graphic qualities. It would make a beautiful addition to any home or office and stands on its own as a beautiful piece of artwork.
