EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Jacquard Coverlet, created by American artist Paul Kelly between 1935 and 1942, is a captivating example of decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The coverlet, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases a vibrant tri-color scheme with intricate motifs and lettering, reminiscent of the Jacquard weaving technique. Paul Kelly, an accomplished artist known for his watercolor, gouache, pen and ink, and graphite works on paperboard, brought this design to life on paper. The coverlet's rich color palette and bold geometric patterns are a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium. The coverlet's origins are rooted in the 19th century, with influences from both the Victorian and Art Deco periods. The tri-colored motifs, which are repeated throughout the design, add a sense of rhythm and harmony to the piece. The fringe detailing at the edges adds texture and visual interest. Despite its creation during the economically challenging 1930s and 1940s, this coverlet exudes a sense of optimism and creativity. Its presence in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art underscores its importance as a significant piece of American art and cultural heritage. Whether displayed in a contemporary art center or a traditional art gallery, this Jacquard Coverlet by Paul Kelly continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and intricate design.
