This abstract wall tapestry by Dutch artist Ewoud de Kat (1904–1981) measures 150 x 99 x 1 cm and is crafted from mixed leftover textiles. The composition features two fragmented figures rendered in a Cubist style, with geometric shapes and intersecting planes forming a layered design. Earthy tones of orange, beige, and brown are contrasted by deep blue and vibrant yellow accents, creating a dynamic color palette. Textured stitching and patchwork construction enhance the piece’s depth, showcasing de Kat’s innovative approach to textile art. Influenced by early 20th-century Cubism and the modernist tapestry revival led by Jean Lurçat, this work bridges abstract painting and tactile craftsmanship, embodying mid-century material experimentation and artistic ingenuity.
