SPQR - Victor Proetz Decorative Textile Pattern Art Print
Description
Get drawn into the enthralling chaos of "SPQR," a mesmerizing art print that transports you to the heart of ancient Rome by way of modern art. Victor Proetz's masterful design weaves a tapestry of classical motifs, inviting you to unravel its enigmatic beauty. Creating a world within a world — where fragmented statues, lyres, and amphoras intertwine in a dynamic dance of line and form.
Originally printed on linen fabric, SPQR is a testament to 1930s modernist luxury, bridging millennia with its timeless appeal. Proetz, the visionary St. Louis-born designer, channels the spirit of European avant-garde, reimagining antiquity for the contemporary eye. The acronym "SPQR" whispers tales of Roman grandeur — an acronym for the "Latin phrase Senatus Populusque Romanus," which means “The Senate and the People of Rome”.
Gaze upon the intricate interplay of cream lines against a deep navy backdrop, where each curve and angle tells a story of artistic evolution. This furnishing textile, born from the collaboration of The Cyrus Clark Co. and Katzenbach & Warren, Inc., stands as a pinnacle of 1934 design innovation. Let your space resonate with the harmonious clash of past and present, embodied in this exquisite linen art print.
