Size: 6 ft x 9 ft 2 in (1.83 m x 2.79 m)

Spectacular Vintage Artistic Paul Klee Fish Area Rug, Country / Rug Origin: Scandinavia, Date: Vintage – The iconic artist Paul Klee was one of the most influential artists of the early 20th century. His works were influenced by cubism, expressionism, and surrealism. His work sometimes had a childlike quality that allowed him to bring a sense of innocence to his work. During the mid-20th century, Scandinavian rugs often featured the works of famous abstract artists. This is an excellent example of a highly artistic Mid-century modern rug.

This painting is a 1925 Bauhaus design period expressionist painting. The original work was mixed media on cardboard and is currently housed in a private collection. Midcentury Scandinavian and Swedish rugs often featured themes that reflected the natural world. This one features the element of water and would make an excellent addition to a room in shades of blue. You could also use it in a nautical theme or add color to other neutrals.

One thing that stands out about this piece is that the colors are slightly different from the original painting. On the original, the fish are in washed-out pinks and yellows. In this area rug, they are in light to medium grays. Blue and gray are the new black in contemporary design, and this rendition is perfect for modern décor tastes.

This is a gorgeous piece that will add character and personality to the space. The abstract design of this art rug is edgy and the perfect addition to an ultra-modern design. Blues have a calming effect on the mind, and this vintage rug will bring a feeling of serenity to the space.

Klee began his career as a draftsman and later mastered the concepts of color and tonality. This gave his work a graphic quality but also allowed it to be expressive. This piece was created during what is referred to as his Bauhaus period, during which much of his work took on a childlike quality. This is a beautiful rug from Scandinavia and an important part of 20th-century artwork. It will make an excellent abstract piece for the aficionado of mid-century artwork and design.
