EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning applique quilt, created by Mae A. Clarke around 1940, showcases the intricate and artistic skills of American folk art during the 1930s and 1940s. The multi-colored quilt, with its floral design and decorative patterns, is a testament to the functional beauty and heritage of this traditional art form. Mae A. Clarke's applique quilt is a vibrant and colorful piece, featuring a variety of flowers and floral patterns in red, green, blue, and other hues. The quilt top is made of cloth pieces that have been carefully cut and sewn onto a background fabric, creating a raised and textured effect. The quilt's intricate design is further enhanced by the use of embroidery and needlework, adding depth and detail to the already impressive visual display. The quilt is a period item from the 20th century, specifically the 1930s and 1940s, and is an excellent representation of the decorative arts during this time in American history. The applique quilt was likely made for personal use or as a gift, reflecting the importance of needlework and textiles in American culture. This applique quilt by Mae A. Clarke is a valuable addition to any art collection, and its inclusion in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., further solidifies its significance as a piece of American heritage art. The quilt's watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper documentation at the National Gallery of Art provides a detailed record of its design and history. The applique quilt is not only a functional item but also a work of art, demonstrating the creativity and craftsmanship of its creator, Mae A. Clarke. This beautiful piece continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its intricate design and rich history.
