EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet design, created by American artist Christopher Hobbs in the 1930s, showcases a vibrant and intricate blend of 19th and 20th century aesthetics. The coverlet, dated around 1936, is a beautiful example of the decorative arts movement that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Hobbs, known for his mastery of watercolor and graphite on paper, expertly rendered this multicolored and lettered design on a white background. The coverlet features a variety of motifs, including geometric shapes, floral patterns, and lettering, all executed in a bold and dynamic way. The fringe and trim add texture and visual interest to the piece, while the use of a white background allows the intricate details to truly stand out. This coverlet, which could have been used as a blanket or wall hanging, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States. It is a named piece from the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the colonial period through the mid-20th century. The coverlet is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The coverlet is a fascinating representation of the artistic trends and cultural influences of the 1930s and 1940s in America. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse and dynamic artistic traditions of our country.
