EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Printed Cottons" by Millia Davenport, dates back to the 1930s and offers a glimpse into the abstract and decorative world of American textile design during the 20th century. The vibrant image, created using watercolor, gouache, pen and ink, and graphite on paperboard, showcases a dynamic array of floral designs, each one distinctly different from the other. The rich, multicolored palette and intricate patterns evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Davenport's design is a testament to the functional art of textiles, which was gaining popularity during the 1930s and 1940s. The abstract and abstracted floral patterns in this print are a departure from the traditional, representational designs of the past. Instead, Davenport embraced a more modern, artistic approach, creating a piece that is as much a work of art as it is a functional item. The print is a significant addition to the decorative arts collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., which houses an extensive index of American design. The location of the piece in a renowned art center and gallery underscores its importance as a heritage art piece, showcasing the evolution of American design during the 20th century. The dark background adds depth and contrast to the intricate patterns, making each flowered design stand out. The use of various colors and techniques, such as watercolor and pen and ink, adds texture and dimension to the print, making it a visually stunning piece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers.
