EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, created by American artist Ralph Atkinson in approximately 1936, showcases the beauty and intricacy of decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The coverlet, which measures an impressive size, is a testament to Atkinson's exceptional talent as a designer and his ability to capture the essence of the period through his unique artistic vision. The coverlet is a vibrant and multicolored textile, featuring a floral design that is both functional and decorative. Atkinson's use of gouache and graphite on paperboard adds depth and texture to the piece, bringing the floral pattern to life with rich, bold colors. The coverlet's floral design is reminiscent of the traditional quilts and coverlets that were popular during this time in American history, but Atkinson's modern interpretation sets it apart as a unique work of art. The coverlet is an important addition to the decorative arts collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is preserved and showcased for visitors to appreciate. As part of the Index of American Design, this coverlet is an invaluable piece of American heritage, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the artistic innovations of the 20th century. Whether displayed in a contemporary art gallery or used as a functional textile, this coverlet by Ralph Atkinson continues to captivate and inspire, showcasing the beauty and creativity of American art during the 1930s and 1940s.
