EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handmade embroidery, created by Edith Magnette in the United States during the 1930s, showcases the intricate beauty and artistry of this traditional craft. The vibrant floral design, featuring a rich array of colors and textures, is brought to life through the meticulous stitching of various threads on a linen ground fabric. The delicate graphite and wash on paper sketch beneath the embroidery serves as a thoughtful and charming composition, enhancing the overall visual appeal. Edith Magnette's embroidery is a testament to the enduring allure of this decorative art form, which has captured the imagination of people across cultures and centuries. The intricate floral pattern, with its delicate petals and lush greenery, is reminiscent of the natural beauty that inspired many artists of the time. This piece is a precious example of the artisanal skills and creativity that flourished in the United States during the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is proud to preserve and showcase this important work of American art as part of its extensive collection. The gallery's Index of American Design, which documents the visual arts of the United States from the Colonial period to the 1940s, includes this embroidery as a valuable addition to its holdings. This period item, with its timeless charm and historical significance, continues to captivate visitors to the gallery and inspire a new generation of artists and craftspeople.
