EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1937, showcases the vibrant and intricate designs that defined the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The coverlet, which measures unspecified dimensions, is made of wool and features a beautiful tricolor pattern of pink, rose, and other rich hues. The design is a testament to Barnes' mastery of watercolor and gouache on paper, as well as her ability to translate her artistic vision into a functional and visually striking textile. Barnes' coverlet is a prime example of the colorful and patterned homewares that were popular during this period. The tri-color design, which includes roses and other floral motifs, is reminiscent of the Art Deco style that dominated the 1920s and 1930s, but with a more organic and natural feel. The coverlet's intricate pattern and use of color would have made it a cherished addition to any home, adding a touch of elegance and charm to any room. The coverlet is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as part of the Index of American Design. This collection, established in 1932, documents the decorative arts and fine arts of the United States from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Barnes' coverlet is a valuable addition to this important collection, providing a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century.
