Item Details
Description
Third quarter 20th century, 220 x 150 cm, North Africa, Morocco, Anti-Atlas

Coarsely woven and loose in structure, this rug was probably made by the Zanaga, a Berber tribe who live in the Anti-Atlas region bordering the Sahara. It presents an astounding, purely abstract design of rectangular sections and spots in black-brown, white and various shades of grey, resembling a mixed-up chessboard of displaced and distorted squares. Spontaneous and haphazard in effect, the composition invites comparison with some pictures of European "Informalism", a movement within modern painting known by that name since 1951. – Slight signs of age and wear, good overall condition.

Hasson 2005, Abb. S. 64
