EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning patchwork quilt, created by American artist Paul Ward in 1936, is a beautiful example of the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The quilt is a vibrant composition of intricately pieced and embroidered cloth, showcasing a rich array of floral designs in red, green, and other warm colors. The quilt's graphic, geometric patterns and bold use of color reflect the functional yet artistic spirit of the era. Paul Ward's patchwork quilt is a testament to the enduring tradition of quilt-making in America, a craft that has been passed down through generations. The quilt's watercolor and graphite on paperboard design suggests that it may have been created as a study or preliminary design for a larger textile work, rather than as a finished piece intended for use as bedding. The quilt's intricate patterns and attention to detail are reminiscent of the index of American design, a movement that celebrated the unique character and heritage of American art and craftsmanship. This quilt is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is preserved and admired as an important piece of American decorative arts and cultural history. The patchwork quilt is a beloved and iconic symbol of American folk art, and Paul Ward's 1936 design is a stunning representation of the creativity and craftsmanship that has made this art form so enduring.
