EDITORS COMMENTS
Coverlet Detail: Farmer's Fancy, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1937, is a stunning work of art that showcases the vibrant and colorful decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s. This intricately detailed watercolor, graphite, and gouache rendering on paper captures the essence of a traditional coverlet design, with its elegant floral patterns and farm-inspired motifs. Barnes, a renowned artist and designer, was known for her contributions to the index of American design, particularly in the realm of hooked rugs and textiles. This coverlet detail, however, demonstrates her versatility as an artist, as she masterfully brings to life the textures and hues of a multicolored, patterned coverlet using just her brush and paints. The image features a close-up view of a pink rose, its petals unfurling in a delicate dance of color and form. Surrounding the rose are intricate patterns reminiscent of traditional coverlet designs, with geometric shapes and stylized floral motifs that evoke the charm of a bygone era. The overall effect is one of warmth, nostalgia, and a deep connection to the heritage of American craft and design. This beautiful work of art is a testament to Barnes' skill as a painter and her ability to capture the essence of a period item in a way that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today. It is a treasured piece of American art history, now housed in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
