EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1937, is a captivating example of the decorative arts from the 20th century, specifically the 1930s. The coverlet, which measures an impressive size, is a beautiful blend of color and design, featuring intricate floral patterns in gouache and graphite on paper. Barnes, a talented artist known for her work in various mediums, showcases her mastery of floral design in this piece. The coverlet is adorned with a vibrant array of flowers, each one meticulously rendered with a level of detail that brings the image to life. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the artwork, making it a true standout. This coverlet is not only a work of art but also a reflection of the cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s. The Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, documented and cataloged American decorative arts and crafts from the Colonial period to the 1930s. This coverlet, as a period item, would have been of great interest to the project and is now a valuable addition to the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The coverlet, with its rich history and artistic merit, is a testament to the creativity and innovation of American artists during the 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage through the arts.
