Joan Miro, Artistic Rug, Danseuse Espagnole
Located in Paris, FR
Joan Miró "Danseuse Espagnole" Design made in 1928, tapestry manufactured in 1960 Handwoven Wool Tapestry 81 x 60 in 'MIRO' signature woven on reverse Woven by Marie Cuttoli's Parisian Galerie for Galerie Lucie-Weill Seligmann in Paris Joan Miró was a versatile artist who explored many mediums, including painting, sculpture and ceramics. But one of the most interesting mediums he used was textile art. Miró created several rugs and fabrics throughout his career, which helped expand his unique aesthetic into new territory. Miró’s work often included abstracted figures, stars, moons, and other celestial bodies, which he used to create a visual language that was both personal and universal. He frequently incorporated found objects and materials into his work, such as rope, pebbles, and twigs. Miró’s work has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world, and he is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. “Danseuse Espagnole," or "Spanish Dancer," was a design created by Joan Miró in 1928. This textile artwork is hand-woven with high-quality wool threads. The composition of the dancer is simple and expressive, with bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors typical of Miro’s style. The dancer is depicted in a dynamic posture, with legs apart and arms raised, evoking Spanish flamenco. The “DANSEUSE ESPAGNOLE” is considered one of the most iconic examples of Miro’s textile...

Whether you hang them behind your bed as a dazzling alternative to a headboard or over the sofa as a large-scale focal point in the living room, vintage tapestries can introduce an array of textures and colors to any space in your home.

Woven wall hangings haven’t consistently enjoyed the popularity or earned the highbrow status that other types of wall decorations have over the years, at least not since the 1970s, which was somewhat of a heyday for tapestries. Today, however, these tactile works of art are seeing a renaissance, as modern weavers are forging new paths in the medium while the demand for antique and vintage tapestries continues to grow.

“We are drawn to texture in environments, and we see tapestries as a subtle layer of soft ornament,” says Lauren Larson of the New York design duo Material Lust. Indeed, and a lot of opportunity comes along when decorating with this distinctive brand of soft ornament.

Think of wall hangings as paintings created by hand with fabric instead of oil or watercolors. If you’re not simply securing your treasure to a wall with nails, pushpins or Velcro, tapestries can be stretched over a frame, used to create a canopy in a cozy living-room corner, hung from a rod or placed inside a shadowbox. And because this kind of textile art is hundreds of years old, options abound with respect to subjects and designs.

For richly detailed depictions of landscapes and garden scenes, look to antique Chinese tapestries and Japanese tapestries. Aubusson tapestries are ornate wall hangings manufactured in central France that are also characterized by romantic portrayals of nature. For weavers of mid-century modern tapestries, as well as those working in textile arts today, the styles and subject matter are too numerous to mention, with artists exploring experimental shapes, bold colors and provocative abstract designs.

Antique, new and vintage tapestries can make a room feel warm and welcoming — find yours on 1stDibs now.
