"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance, and this, and not the external manner and detail, is true reality." (Aristotle) well, what to say ... if Salvador Dali would have designed rugs, then it might have been something like this ... one the most bizarre woven arts i've ever seen ... if you know/seen anything similar, then please let me know!!! Just take your imaginery and spend a few minutes with the pictures ... your imaginery will fly to the moon, or even further ... spaceships (?), amoebas (?), wombs (?) with surreal animal (?) and human (?) creatures within, flowing cells sorrounded by extremly abstracted visualizations of organic forms .... a unique piece of tribal woven arts. Bakhtiari rug, end of 19th century, 205x150 cm, wool on wool with all organic dyes. More beauties: http://rugrabbit.com/profile/5160
