Art Deco
Art Deco is the name for
the decorative arts of the 1920's and 1930's in Europe and
America, which sprang from the Paris Exposition Intrnationale
des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925. A characteristic
of Art Deco was the vogue for a streamlined style, with inspiration
from archeological finds in Egypt, Diaghilev's Ballet Russe,
cubism. Mayan and Aztec cultures and what it contributed to
carpet style was the idea of carpet designs being created
by well known artists, designers, and architects. The 1920's
in particular, saw an upsurge in popularity of "designer"
carpets. Morris & Co. paved the way for an increased interest
in European textiles generally, although the number of designers
making rugs in the modern style remained small compared with
those providing modern designs in other media. The role of
the rug was no longer simply as decorative floor finish, but
an integral part of he whole scheme.
During the 1920's , many rugs were woven in Belgium, and the
often had abstract patterns or motifs in somber colors. Some
designers worked with machine-weaving companies, and in Britain,
Axminster, Wilton Royal, Edinburgh Weavers, and Templeton
set up specialist departments for weaving designer rugs that
the commissioned from well known designers such as Eileen
Gray, Frank Brangwyn, Marian Dorn, and her husband, and the
American born Edward McKnight Kauffer. Chinese born Betty
Joel wove to commission, and her rugs made in China. In France,
many rugs were commissioned for exhibitions and luxury liners.
Designers and studios involved included Jacques Emile Ruhlmann,
Paul Follot, and the firm of Sue et Marie. In northern Africa,
the Myrbor studio wove designs by Jean Lurcat, Fernand Leger,
Joan Miro, and Jean Arp, among others. In the US Ruth Reeves
designed rugs evoking American city life, as well as cubist
and geometrical motifs, while Donald Deskey, Gilbert Rohde,
Eugene Schoen, and Loma Saarinen all designed rugs for Cranbrook
Academy.
Next to these European Art Deco carpets
huge amount of Art Deco carpets of various sizes were introduced
by the Chinese workshops of Nichols. These carpets where very
colorful and depicted mostly oriental motifs in an Art Deco
style. Major characteristic was design motifs blended the
border and the field as well.
