French Carpets — Antique French Art Deco Rug, circa 1930 The Art Deco movement in the 1920’s sought to bring the innovations of modernist abstraction into the mainstream of Euro-American decorative art, as this spectacular example shows so well. The composition utilizes blocks of complementary color and line expressively, like a painting by Klee or Mondrian, striving for balance rather than symmetry. Its apparently simple design is full of relationships and harmonies waiting to be discovered. It strives to bring the abstract world of the canvass into a tactile third dimension for the floor.
