EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1937, showcases the intricate beauty and rich history of decorative arts from the 20th century. The bicolour design, featuring vibrant floral motifs in watercolour gouache and pen and ink on paper, is a testament to Barnes' exceptional skill and creativity. The coverlet, which measures an impressive size, was a popular homeware item during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Its intricate pattern and detailed design would have added a touch of elegance and sophistication to any home. The floral motifs, which include a variety of blooms and foliage, are reminiscent of the natural beauty found in the American countryside. Barnes' coverlet is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. It is currently housed in the Decorative Arts and Sculpture section of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This important work of art is a valuable addition to the gallery's extensive collection and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States. The coverlet's intricate design and use of bicolour techniques reflect the artistic trends of the time, which saw a renewed interest in traditional crafts and techniques. Barnes' work is a prime example of the high level of craftsmanship and creativity that characterized the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s. This beautiful coverlet continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and intricate detail, making it a must-see for anyone interested in American art and decorative arts history.
