French Wall Hanging Artistic Vintage Mid Century Modern Tapestry, Country of Origin: France, Circa Date: Mid Century Modern– This phenomenal vintage French tapestry showcases a splendid cubist composition featuring chestnut browns and radiant warm tones that emphasize the tapestry’s mid-century visage. Sensuous corporal curves sweep over the field and carry the eye across the grand composition. Complex fractals, linear accents and carefully shaded shapes emphasize the dimensional, perspectival qualities created by the cubist figures. Head-like roundels unite the sensuous negative-space curves and highlight the recumbent figures that sprawl across the composition. Bright contrasting shapes in fiery oranges, kohl black, ivory and powder blue display a robust assortment of textures. These decorative accents range from opaque monochromes to transparent chalky accents that capture painterly textures in a textile form. This vintage French tapestry is an abstract gem that has all of the qualities and nuances of a high art piece.
