EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, created by American artist Edward White in approximately 1936, showcases the rich and vibrant textile art of the 1930s. The intricately designed piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the artistic innovation and cultural heritage of the United States during this period. White's coverlet, with its multi-colored floral pattern, is a feast for the eyes. The artist masterfully employed gouache and graphite on paper to bring the design to life, capturing the essence of the floral motifs that were popular during this time. The coverlet's edges are adorned with a delicate fringe, adding an elegant touch to the already impressive piece. The coverlet's creation can be traced back to the thirties, a decade marked by the Great Depression and the rise of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. White's work reflects the period's emphasis on traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials, such as the haberdashery used in this coverlet. The coverlet's location in the National Gallery of Art is a fitting tribute to its significance in American art history. It is an essential addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts and designs from the Colonial period to the 1940s. White's coverlet is a reminder of a bygone era, a time when art and craftsmanship were deeply intertwined, and the beauty of nature was a constant source of inspiration. Its presence in the National Gallery of Art serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that the United States has to offer.
