EDITORS COMMENTS
This coverlet section, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in the mid-20th century around 1936, showcases an exquisite blend of color and pattern. The intricately designed piece, which measures approximately 24 x 24 inches, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Barnes, a renowned artist and designer, expertly combined watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paper to bring this tricolored masterpiece to life. The coverlet's design features a series of interconnected pink roses, their petals delicately outlined and filled in with vibrant hues. The roses are arranged in a repeating pattern, creating a stunning visual effect that is both elegant and timeless. The coverlet's intricate detailing and thoughtful composition make it a standout piece of decorative arts from this period. Its tri-color scheme, with its harmonious blend of pink and contrasting background tones, adds depth and dimension to the design. This section is believed to be part of a larger coverlet or blanket, suggesting its original purpose as a functional yet beautiful homeware item. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, indexed under the Index of American Design. The coverlet section is a testament to the enduring allure of American craft and design, and a reminder of the artistic innovations that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s.
