EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning coverlet created by Dorothy Posten in approximately 1936. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this abstract piece truly capture the essence of American folk art during the 1930s. The coverlet, meticulously crafted with embroidered stitching on fabric, serves as both a decorative and functional item for the bedroom. Its geometric patterns and optical illusions create an eye-catching display that adds charm to any room it graces. Posten's artistic talent is evident in her use of multi-colored threads, blending shades of blue and red together harmoniously. This fusion of colors brings life to the otherwise neutral background, making it a standout feature within any space. As part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this artifact represents not only Posten's skill but also America's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Through watercolor and graphite on paperboard, Posten has managed to immortalize her creation in this photo print. Whether admired for its historical significance or appreciated purely for its aesthetic appeal, this coverlet offers viewers a glimpse into 20th-century America through artistry and design.
