On the Design:

This Andre Maurice tapestry is exemplary of the artist’s deep understanding of modernist abstraction while honoring traditional weaving techniques. The composition employs a radial structure with fragmented geometric elements—triangles, rectangles, and linear segments—exploding outward from a central nexus against a rich tobacco-brown ground. The colorway demonstrates modernist restraint, utilizing a precisely calibrated palette of ochre, burnt orange, terracotta, cream, and selective black accents. Dynamic white gestural marks create directional movement across the field, suggesting both velocity and atmospheric disturbance. Diagonal and radiating lines in varying shades create a sense of movement and depth, while a central cluster of geometric shapes anchors the composition. The background technique employs deliberate textural variation where the brown field exhibits graffito-like scratched effects that create dimensional depth. It’s a masterpiece with striking detail for its construction, with a fabulous sense of boldness and presence for any space—a true collector’s piece to be treasured.

Condition:

This vintage tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—an extremely collectible work. Ideally for exclusive use in wall-hanging projects and similar applications. See less
