EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hooked rug, titled "Hooked Rug - Center Design," was created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1936. The rug is a prime example of the decorative arts movement that flourished in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The vibrant and multicolored design showcases Barnes' exceptional skill in the hooked rug technique, a traditional American craft that involves pulling loops of yarn through a canvas base to create intricate patterns. The rug's central section features a captivating arrangement of geometric shapes in various shades of color, creating a visually stimulating and dynamic composition. The surrounding border showcases a more subdued color palette, allowing the center design to take center stage. The rug's intricate detail and attention to pattern are further emphasized by the use of contrasting colors and textures. Barnes' hooked rug is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of traditional American crafts. This piece is a valuable addition to any collection of decorative arts or Americana, and would make a stunning centerpiece in a home or gallery setting. The rug is not to be confused with the Hooked Rug Company, but rather a unique and original work of art by Ruth M. Barnes. This photograph of the rug is a watercolour graphite and gouache rendering on paper, providing a detailed and accurate representation of the original piece. The rug is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The rug's position in the collection speaks to its significance as a representative of American craftsmanship and artistic expression during the 20th century.
