EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning head dress, created by Mary Berner between 1935 and 1942, is a prime example of the intricate and vibrant artistry of Native American beadwork from the 20th century. The multi-colored beads, meticulously sewn onto a cloth base, form a complex and eye-catching design that is both functional and decorative. The head dress is adorned with graphite and colored pencil drawings, adding an additional layer of detail and visual interest. Mary Berner, an American artist, drew inspiration from her native heritage to create this beautiful piece. The head dress is a testament to the rich cultural traditions that have been passed down through generations. The use of beads, a traditional medium for Native American art, is a nod to the long history of this art form. The head dress is a significant object in the Decorative Arts collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., which holds an extensive collection of American art from the 1930s and 1940s. The Gallery's Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American folk and decorative arts, includes a detailed record of this head dress. The head dress is not only a work of art but also a symbol of the enduring heritage and traditions of Native American tribes in the United States. Its intricate beadwork and colorful design reflect the unique artistic vision of Mary Berner and the cultural heritage of the Native American people.
