Yapatkwa Belgian Tapestry, Bauerngarten (Flower Garden with Large White Flowers) , Gustav Klimt Avant-Garde Pillow / Cushion Cover, 18" x 18"

Yapatkwa Belgian Tapestry, Bauerngarten (Flower Garden) 2, Gustav Klimt Avant-Garde Pillow / Cushion Cover, 18" x 18"
Part of Gustav Klimt Collection

Pillow cover capturing the Avant Garde art movement based in Austria, and the work of Gustav Klimt, Flower Garden.  Klimt's art was incredibly decorative and very different from the art being produced in Europe at the time. His paintings were very similar to the paintings that were painted in France during the Art Nouveau movement.

Though publically known from the outset of his career for his allegorical compositions and female portraits, in the 1890s and afterwards landscape painting became an increasingly important outlet for Klimt's creativity eventually accounting for nearly a quarter of his oeuvre.

This cushion is woven in Belgium on a jacquard loom with 100% cotton thread. It is lined with a beige cotton backing and closes with a zipper. The Gobelin quality is obtained by a denser, thicker weft and as such is somewhat heavier than the regular tapestry quality.

Backside of pillow cover is in beige velvet.  Zippered base allows for easy removal and insertion of cushion inserts allowing you to choose the level of plushness you desire.  

Pillow inserts not included.  (Yapatkwa recommends a standard inner pillow of 19" or 20" for a fuller cushion look.)
