EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hooked rug, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in the mid-20th century, around 1936, showcases an intricate leaf motif that brings a touch of natural beauty into any space. The rug, which measures an impressive size, is a testament to Barnes' exceptional skill and creativity in the art of hooked rug making. Barnes, an accomplished artist known for her work in watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper, also excelled in the decorative arts, particularly in the creation of hooked rugs. This piece, with its vibrant colors and meticulously detailed leaf motif, is a prime example of her artistic prowess. The rug, which is part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The leaf motif, with its organic shapes and rich colors, is a common theme in American folk art and reflects the strong connection to the natural world that characterized the era. The rug, which is now a cherished part of the Gallery's decorative arts section, is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional crafts and the importance of preserving the artistic legacy of the past. Whether displayed in a home or in a gallery setting, this beautiful hooked rug by Ruth M. Barnes is sure to captivate and inspire all who see it.
