by Ruth M. Barnes (c. 1937): A Vibrant and Colorful Snapshot of 1930s-1940s American Fashion Step back in time with this watercolor and gouache on paper artwork, "Mitts" by Ruth M. Barnes, created around 1937. This intricately designed piece showcases the essence of American heritage art during the 1930s and 1940s, a period marked by innovation and creativity in the world of arts and crafts. The artwork features a pair of mittens, or "mitts," adorned with a beautiful floral motif. The multi-colored design, with its rich hues and intricate patterns, reflects the vibrant and playful spirit of the era. The mittens are depicted against a white background, making the colors pop and the details stand out. Ruth M. Barnes, the talented artist behind this piece, masterfully employs the use of needlework techniques to bring the mittens to life. The attention to detail in the embroidery is remarkable, with each stitch adding depth and texture to the design. This artwork is a testament to the importance of decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when craftsmanship and creativity were highly valued. "Mitts" is a perfect example of the index of American design, which emphasized the unique character and charm of American art and culture. The "Mitts" artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on the 20th century, American art, or fashion. It is a period piece that adds character and warmth to any room, evoking memories of a simpler time and reminding us of the beauty and creativity that exists in the world around us. This artwork is part of the Keystone Archives and can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It is a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of American art, fashion, and design.
