Automobile Fabric c. 20th century

This anonymous artwork, "Automobile Fabric," from the early 20th century, is a striking example of a textile design. The fabric, likely intended for upholstery, features a geometric pattern of elongated diamonds in shades of black and gold. The repeating motif, reminiscent of Art Deco style, adds a touch of elegance to the design. The fabric's intricate details and luxurious texture, along with its geometric pattern, exemplify the aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The piece, now preserved at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the decorative arts of the early 20th century.
