This remarkable rug, after Le Corbusier's "Three Women" (1950), is inspired by an iconic composition by the artist, adapted in the spirit of the great Aubusson tapestries of the 20th century. The work showcases Le Corbusier's characteristic visual language, where the human figure, color, and the balance of forms converge in a modern and timeless harmony. Entirely handmade and hand-knotted, this rug features a magnificent, silky wool pile on a cotton foundation, offering exceptional suppleness and remarkable craftsmanship. Its beautiful polychromy highlights the richness of the design and the elegance of the composition. Measuring 250 x 200 cm (98 x 79 in), this rug is a major decorative piece for a contemporary interior, gallery, or textile art collection. Its excellent overall condition and the quality of its execution make it a textile work of great interest. Le Corbusier (1887–1965) is one of the major figures of modern architecture and art. A visionary architect, painter, draftsman, and theorist, he profoundly influenced the 20th century. His pictorial work, often less well-known than his architecture, has inspired numerous tapestries and textile creations, notably in Aubusson, where his compositions found a natural extension in the art of weaving.
