This remarkable rug, after Robert Delaunay – Rythme n°1, inspired by the work held at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, translates the vibrant and colorful world of the master of French abstraction into textile form. Monogrammed SD, it features a dynamic circular composition characteristic of Delaunay's explorations of color, movement, and light. Entirely handmade and hand-knotted, this rug is crafted from silky wool on a cotton foundation, offering remarkable suppleness, a refined feel, and excellent craftsmanship. Its beautiful polychromy highlights the richness of contrasts and the depth of the geometric forms. Measuring 215 x 215 cm (85 x 85 in), this square rug is a true work of textile art, ideal for a contemporary interior, gallery, or private collection. Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) was a pioneer of abstract art and the founder of Orphism. His work is based on the study of simultaneous color contrasts and the search for visual rhythm. His influence extends far beyond painting and has profoundly marked the decorative arts, design, and textiles of the 20th century.
