EDITORS COMMENTS
This coverlet, created by American artist Edward White in approximately 1937, showcases a stunning blend of geometric motifs and intricate design. The image, which is a watercolor graphite and gouache rendering on paperboard, transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Edward White's coverlet is a testament to the functional yet decorative nature of textiles during this era. The coverlet's design features a multitude of geometric shapes and patterns, each one meticulously rendered in crisp, clean lines. The use of black and white adds a sense of timelessness and sophistication to the piece, making it a standout addition to any art collection. The coverlet's fringe detailing adds a textural element to the otherwise flat image, giving it a tactile quality that invites the viewer to touch and explore. This coverlet is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant piece of American heritage. It is a reminder of the rich textile traditions that have shaped our country's cultural history. This coverlet is part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s. The Index of American Design aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and crafts through the creation of a comprehensive visual record. Today, this coverlet can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
