Detailed information
Sonia Delaunay “Carré rouge Carré blanc” Rug
Created around 1960, Carré rouge Carré blanc is a refined expression of Sonia Delaunay’s lifelong exploration of geometric abstraction and chromatic balance. Through a rigorous composition of intersecting squares in muted green, ivory, and deep red, the artist transforms elementary forms into a harmonious visual rhythm that reflects the principles of Orphism and modern design.
Hand-tufted in wool by the Fabrica de Alfombras y Tapices de Santa Marta de Magasca in Cáceres, this limited-edition rug is monogrammed by the artist and demonstrates the successful translation of Delaunay’s abstract language into textile form. Its restrained palette, architectural structure, and exceptional craftsmanship make it an outstanding example of twentieth-century textile art, where fine art and decorative arts converge.
