EDITORS COMMENTS
This sampler, titled "Sampler (Stitching)" and created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1937, showcases a vibrant and intricate display of embroidery and needlework. The multicolored design, featuring various geometric shapes and patterns, is a testament to Barnes' exceptional skill and creativity. The artwork is a beautiful example of the decorative arts popular during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Barnes, a talented artist known for her work in watercolor and gouache on paper, expertly combined these mediums with stitching to create a unique and visually striking piece. The sampler's colorful palette and detailed patterns evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting us to a simpler time in American history. The sampler is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. It is currently housed in the Keystone Archive at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. The sampler's intricate design and attention to detail reflect the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century. Whether admired for its historical significance or its aesthetic beauty, this piece is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the arts and the rich history of American craftsmanship.
