Woven Textile

Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an intricate textile design. The design features a pattern of alternating horizontal bands, created using a combination of blue, red, and off-white colors. Each band showcases different woven patterns, including geometrical shapes like diamonds and zigzags, and textures resembling a fabric weave. This piece emphasizes the interplay between color and pattern, as well as traditional craftsmanship and artistic exploration in textile design. It is oriented vertically on a blank background, emphasizing the woven patterns. This is in the style of Anni Albers.
