Vintage Art Deco Ecuadorian Rug by Olga Fisch 49159, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Ecuadorian Rugs, Circa Date: 1940 – Reminiscent of prehistoric cave paintings, this vintage rug expresses joyful action and the interactions of humans with nature. Hungarian artist Olga Fisch, incorporated the traditions of Ecuadorian folk art into her work, uniting the bold, primitive strokes of the ancient artists with techniques of modern art. The finely executed running human figures show attention to detail of the human form. In contrast, the animals are rendered in a more primitive style. The vibrant colors of red and black on a neutral background are true to renderings of prehistoric rock art. The prehistoric cave painting inspired art deco rug is signed by the artist – Olga Fisch.
