Untitled Valentine (Country Couples),
EDITORS COMMENTS
created by the American art duo Berlin & Jones around 1860/69, is a captivating and intricately designed collage greeting card that embodies the romantic spirit of the Victorian era. This exquisite work of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artists' masterful use of collaged elements and gold paint on cut and embossed ivory wove paper. The card's central focus is a charming scene of country couples, their faces delicately rendered in pink and color, surrounded by an abundance of flowers and foliage. The floral arrangements are meticulously crafted, with each bloom and leaf intricately detailed, adding to the overall allure of the piece. The collaged elements, including the flowerheads and plant stems, are expertly placed and blended seamlessly into the background, creating a harmonious balance between the human figures and the natural world. The artists' choice of ivory wove paper, with its embossed design, adds an elegant and decorative touch to the card, further enhancing its romantic appeal. The gold paint, used sparingly and strategically, adds a touch of opulence and sophistication to the piece, making it a truly unique and special Valentine's Day creation. This collage greeting card, a testament to the artistic prowess of Berlin & Jones, invites us to take a close-up look at the intricacies of the design and the beauty of the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the importance of romance and the simple pleasures of nature, making it a cherished piece of heritage art that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
