EDITORS COMMENTS
This Needle Book created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in the 1930s or 1940s is a testament to the beauty and artistry of traditional crafts. The intricately designed needle book, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Barnes' exceptional talent for floral design and attention to detail. Measuring approximately 10 x 11 cm, this small yet exquisite piece is a prime example of the decorative arts that flourished during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The needle book is made of watercolour gouache and pen and ink on paper, with black colour dominating the design. The patterns on the cover feature intricate floral motifs, adding to its allure as a functional and aesthetic piece. Barnes, a renowned American artist, created this needle book during a period when crafts and homeware gained significant popularity. The needle book's design reflects the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project, which aimed to document and promote American decorative arts. The needle book's historical significance is further emphasized by its location in the National Gallery of Art, a prestigious institution that houses a vast collection of art from various periods and genres. This needle book is not only a beautiful addition to the gallery's holdings but also a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century.
