Floor Mat c. 20th century

This 20th century floor mat, a striking example of textile art, is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection. The anonymous artist, known for their intricate geometric designs, showcases a central medallion surrounded by a repeating pattern of dots and stripes. The dominant color scheme of white, blue, and pink evokes a sense of calm and sophistication, making this mat a decorative and functional object. Its large dimensions (56 x 78 inches) suggest it was likely used for both aesthetic and practical purposes, adding a touch of artistry to everyday life.
