Handwoven in wool and originating from France circa 1950-1960, this 3x4 vintage tapestry is a signed collectible from the Aubusson adaptations of works by German artist August Macke—this particular design entitled “Tightrope Walker”. On the Design:An embodiment of expressionist verve, this Macke original depicts a scene of a tightrope walker performing in a circus for a group of onlookers. The warm, saturated hues of orange, brown, and yellow are particularly evocative in their intense, non-naturalist use, and have been coupled with a sharp geometric approach to construct the pictorials. Admirers of the craft will especially enjoy the fabulous life and richness this tapestry has to it, perfectly capturing painterly sensibilities and an avant-gardist approach to artworks. Condition:This 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.
