EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a section of a Friendship Quilt created by Maud Schmid in the United States during the 1930s. The quilt, a cherished example of American decorative arts from the 20th century, is a patchwork of multicolored squares that exude a sense of warmth and community. Schmid's meticulous design is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era, with each square featuring intricate patterns and shapes that blend harmoniously together. The quilt's creation was likely a collaborative effort, with each square representing the unique contribution of a friend or family member. The quilt's vibrant colors and varied textures reflect the spirit of the times, evoking the optimism and creativity of the 1930s and 1940s. This section of the quilt, now a cherished artifact, was originally a part of a larger blanket that would have provided both functional and decorative value. Schmid's design is a stunning example of the index of American design, showcasing the rich heritage of American textiles and the enduring appeal of traditional crafts. The quilt section is rendered in watercolor gouache and graphite on paper, providing a detailed and accurate record of the original piece. This image is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American art, textiles, and the history of quilting. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
