Influence of Moroccan Rugs on Notable Artists: Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Joseph Albers
Could Moroccan rugs have inspired transformative artists such as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, and Joseph Albers? Throughout history, numerous creators have modified our perception of art and the world. The implications of this are equally true for antique and vintage rugs, although there’s a notable contrast in pricing. Despite rugs carrying an equivalent aesthetical value as fine art, they are purchased at a fraction of the cost of a piece of art. Why is this so?
The explanation is quite straightforward. When one purchases a signed painting, they’re paying not just for the artwork but also for the artist’s life history. Conversely, with artisan rugs, buyers pay for the decorative worth of the piece. Often, the historical importance or origin of an antique or vintage rug can compete with that of the finest painting. It would, therefore, be reasonable to assume that rug prices will surge as they become more and more rare.
As a result, many budding collectors who find it challenging to shell out millions of dollars for notable artwork are turning to the rug and textile world, where prices are considerably below the actual artistic value.
Beneath is a comparison of paintings from renowned artists inspired by Moroccan rugs. As you can see, the rugs are as equally stunning, if not more so. There’s an argument that products of mid-century artists drew inspiration from vintage Moroccan rugs, based on the images provided. This interesting discovery could mean that the roots of the modern art movement are traceable to Morocco.
