BUGS LIKE PICTURES ARE WORK OF ART
Mrs. W. B. Thayer First Bough Oriental Floor Coverings Because They Appealed to Her
"I have always been interested in antique rugs" said Mrs. W. B. Thayer, of Kansas City who is exhibiting her collection on the third floor of the Administration building. "When I was a young woman," she continued, "I used to save my money to buy Persian rug because they appealed to me. The department stores used to get in bursaries." But then she could not afford an antique rug among them. I remember of getting one rug which has very bright colors in it for almost nothing just because the pastel colors were the rage then.
"I regard rugs just like pictures. They are works of art. Instead of painting realistically, the Oriental rug makers just give suggestions and let your imagination fill in the scene. It is only recently that the modern artists has begun to follow the old Oriental rug makers.
"I collected rugs whenever I could find them, but not as a more collector. I bought them for my home. Two years ago when the rug lovers of Kansas City held an exhibition in her town, she charged to stain them. Since then, I have been collecting them for arta sake."
"It is possible to cultivate a love of rugs very easily" said Ms. Thuyen, "but the degree of the aesthetic taste which each individual possesses regulates the amount of time needed to really appreciate rugs."
A Giorius is regarded as the most valuable of the collection white an Ardlebil and Kulah arq close circles. Some of the rugs have been built by German craftsmen which has been bost, although the color remains as bright today as two centuries ago. A Chinese rug in the collection passed through the Boxer rebellion and was shipped from Turkey two days before the German government ordered all wool confiscated and made into uniforms. Most of these have been collected at the West Bank in Kansas City and Chicago.
