Cargador 1920 - 1930

"Cargador", a woven textile created between 1920-1930 by the artist Maya, showcases a simple yet striking design of vertical stripes in various shades of red, blue, and beige. The piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the artist's mastery of textile techniques and reflects a minimalist aesthetic that was popular in the early 20th century. The rhythmic repetition of the stripes creates a sense of visual harmony, while the subtle variations in color add depth and complexity to the overall composition.
