EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Martha Sancher's Shaker Coverlet from 1935/1942, a striking example of American decorative arts from the 20th century. The coverlet, which is a blend of watercolor and graphite on paper, is an abstract representation of a traditional Shaker design. The Shakers were a religious sect originating in the United States during the 18th century, known for their functional and minimalist approach to design. The coverlet's color scheme is dominated by black, blue, and shades of red, creating a tri-colored, tricolored, or tri-colour palette that is both bold and soothing. The intricate patterned design, reminiscent of the textiles produced by the Shakers, is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and craft. The coverlet, which is not a physical textile but rather a paper rendering, is a period piece that reflects the artistic trends of the 1930s and 1940s. Martha Sancher's work is an index of American design, showcasing the unique blend of functional and decorative elements that characterize the best of American arts and crafts. This artwork is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art and design. The coverlet's abstract design, combined with its historical significance, makes it a standout piece that is sure to inspire and intrigue visitors to the gallery.
