EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handwoven coverlet detail, created by American artist Fred Peterson in the late 1930s, showcases the intricate craftsmanship and artistic vision of the Decorative Arts movement in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The coverlet, which is not the commercial product but rather a work of art, is depicted in this photograph, with watercolor and graphite on paper. The image captures a close-up view of the coverlet's corner, revealing the beautiful two-color design, featuring a cream background with geometric shapes and a darker color for the intricate fringe and trim. Peterson's coverlet is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and crafts, reflecting the era's emphasis on traditional techniques and local materials. The coverlet's design, with its simple yet elegant pattern, speaks to the rustic charm of country living during this period. The use of natural fibers, such as wool or cotton, adds to the authenticity and warmth of the piece. The coverlet is an essential addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This iconic institution, dedicated to preserving and sharing American art and culture, is the perfect location for showcasing Peterson's masterpiece. The coverlet's intricate detail and timeless design continue to inspire and captivate audiences, making it a cherished piece of American art history.
