EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning patchwork quilt design, titled "Patchwork Quilt," was created by American artist Elgin Moncure Styll between the years 1935 and 1942. The vibrant and colorful artwork is a watercolor, graphite, and gouache rendering on paperboard, set against a pristine white background. The quilt's intricate patterns and designs are reminiscent of the decorative arts popular during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Elgin Moncure Styll (1896-1965) was an accomplished artist known for his work in various mediums, including textiles, needlework, and watercolor. His unique ability to capture the essence of traditional American quilts in his artwork showcases his exceptional talent and appreciation for the country's rich heritage. The quilt's design features a myriad of geometric shapes, bold colors, and intricate patterns, which are typical of the quilts produced during this period. The red, white, and blue color palette adds a patriotic touch, reflecting the spirit of the times. The artwork is a testament to the artistic ingenuity and creativity that flourished in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. This piece is part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project, which aimed to document American folk and decorative arts. Today, it is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
