EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Woven Coverlet, created by American artist Theodore Pfitzer around 1937, is a captivating example of decorative arts from the 20th century. The coverlet, which measures approximately 72 x 83 inches, showcases a bold and intricate geometric design, featuring a rich color scheme of black, white, and red. The design is rendered in watercolor and graphite on paper, providing a detailed and precise representation of the intended textile pattern. Theodore Pfitzer (1875-1952), also known as Theodore George Pfitzer, was an accomplished American artist and designer, known for his work in textiles, particularly coverlets. This coverlet, with its tricolored geometric design, is a testament to Pfitzer's skill and creativity. The coverlet's design is reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials. The coverlet's black color, which dominates the design, adds a sense of depth and richness, while the red and white accents add visual interest and balance. The coverlet's design was likely inspired by traditional American quilting and weaving techniques, but Pfitzer's interpretation is distinctly modern and innovative. The coverlet's intricate design and use of color would have made it a prized possession in any home during the 1930s and 1940s. This coverlet is now part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The coverlet's inclusion in this prestigious collection underscores its importance as a significant work of American art and cultural heritage.
