EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a block design extracted from a bedspread created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in the late 1930s. The intricately detailed appliqué work is depicted in black and multi-colored hues, with the central focus being a large, star-shaped block. The design exudes a sense of warmth and charm, reminiscent of the cozy comforts of a country bedroom. The original artwork was created using watercolour pen and ink and graphite on paper, revealing the artist's masterful control over various mediums. Barnes's keen eye for pattern and shape is evident in the meticulously crafted design, which is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The Block from Bedspread is an essential addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American craft and design from the colonial period to the present day. This significant piece can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The Block from Bedspread serves as a reminder of the beauty and artistry found in everyday household items, as well as the enduring appeal of traditional American crafts. Barnes's work is a testament to the power of creativity and the ability of art to transport us to another time and place.
