EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite embroidered blanket, created by Jenny Almgren in the late 1930s, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 20th century. The intricately designed coverlet, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Almgren's mastery of needlework and her keen eye for floral patterns. The multi-colored, ivory background is adorned with a myriad of blossoms, leaves, and stems, all meticulously embroidered in various shades of thread. Almgren's use of watercolor and graphite on paper as a preliminary design is evident in the lifelike quality of the final embroidery. The blanket, which dates from the 1930s and 1940s, is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during this period. Its vibrant colors and floral design reflect the optimism and creativity of the era, while its intricate stitching speaks to the dedication and skill of its creator. Jenny Almgren's embroidered blanket is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable historical artifact. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of American craft and design during the 1930s and 1940s. The blanket's presence in the National Gallery of Art's collection is a testament to its importance and enduring value as a work of art and a piece of American heritage.
