EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and meticulously crafted Silk Quilt, created by Elbert S. Mowery in 1941, is a true testament to the artistry and skill of American quilting during the mid-20th century. The quilt's design features an array of diamond shapes appliqued onto a rich silk fabric, showcasing Mowery's exceptional attention to detail. The use of multi-colored stripes adds a dynamic element to the overall composition, creating a visually striking piece that captures the essence of this era. Each stripe is carefully sewn with precision and adorned with intricate embroidery work, demonstrating Mowery's mastery in needlework. As you gaze upon this period item from the 1930s and 1940s, it becomes evident that this quilt not only serves as an artistic expression but also as a functional object meant for everyday use. Its combination of beauty and practicality reflects the ingenuity found within American craft traditions. Currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this Silk Quilt stands as part of America's heritage art collection. It was included in the Index of American Design due to its historical significance and contribution to textile arts. Through watercolor and graphite on paper, Elbert S. Mowery has immortalized his creation for generations to appreciate. This photograph print allows us to marvel at his craftsmanship while celebrating America's rich artistic legacy.
