Woven Wool Carpet c. 1937

This Woven Wool Carpet was made by William Bos, but at what time, we don't know. Just look at it! So many lines and colours. I can just imagine Bos at work, shifting and emerging, and trialling different colours, maybe even making a few errors. Look at the shades of red, yellow, white and green. It's almost hypnotic. I sympathize with William. I wonder if he knew what he was doing, or whether the carpet just came into being on its own. I like to imagine that other weavers inspired this carpet through a conversation across time. The vertical lines, the black squares. I am sure that other artists inspired his creativity. I bet it would have been so satisfying to complete it.
