EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet design by Arlene Perkins, titled "Coverlet, 1935/1942," is a vibrant and intricately detailed work of art that showcases the beauty and richness of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. Created by Perkins using watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paper, this artwork is a testament to the artist's skillful blending of various techniques to bring a multicolored floral pattern to life. The coverlet design features a basket filled with an array of blooms, their petals delicately rendered in various shades of color, creating a sense of depth and texture. The basket, woven with a natural, earthy texture, provides a charming contrast to the bold, graphic lines of the floral pattern. Perkins' coverlet design is a reflection of the period's appreciation for the natural world and the craftsmanship of traditional arts. The 1930s and 1940s were a time of renewed interest in folk arts and crafts, as Americans sought to reconnect with their heritage and create a sense of community and comfort in the face of economic hardship and global conflict. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Index documents the cultural and historical significance of American art and design from the colonial period through the mid-20th century. "Coverlet, 1935/1942" is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important piece of American heritage. Its intricate floral design and traditional basket motif continue to inspire and captivate viewers, making it a beloved addition to any art collection or gallery display.
