Art I Heart: Paule Marrot

I am always on the hunt for new and interesting art, and especially art through different mediums.  Of course I love abstract paintings on canvas, but I also love mixed media, charcoal, and textiles, especially because they add an element of interest to a space.  So when I saw the textile art of Paule Marrot available on Natural Curiosities, I was immediately drawn in by her bold use of color and the chinoiserie feel to many of her pieces. Paule Marrot was a French artist who created most of her textile works from the 1920s-1950s.  Marrot’s bold use of flowers, color and patterns reflect a compositionally modernist style classically associated with the Art Deco movement.  You might be familiar with the Feathers piece.  I have seen it featured in a few highly publicized rooms (and I absolutely LOVE it!):

{Feather}

{Peppermint Bliss}

Here are a few more favorites of mine:

{Doves}

{Red Sea}

{Tulips}

{Paule Marrot Spring}

{Daisies}

{Fuscia}

They are all just so fun.  I could see them working equally well in a modern living room or a kids play room.  In fact, I've been debating on whether or not I want to purchase Feathers for our house.  I feel like it is a bit overdone at this point, but it's so beautiful and would be perfect for over the couch.  Each print is ~$1000 framed or ~$400 unframed.  I believe Natural Curiosities is to the trade only, so if you want to purchase a piece, email me and I can get it ordered for you!
