EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Silk Bed Quilt, created by Elgin Moncure Styll around 1941, is a vibrant and colorful testament to the rich artistic traditions of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The quilt, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a unique blend of various techniques, including watercolor and graphite on paper, embroidery, and needlework, all skillfully applied to silk fabric. The quilt's intricate checkered pattern, reminiscent of the classic American checkered design, is a feast for the eyes, with its multicolored hues and precise stitching. The quilt's creator, Elgin Moncure Styll, was an accomplished artist who expertly captured the essence of the period, blending traditional design elements with modern sensibilities. The quilt's heritage is deeply rooted in American history, reflecting the country's strong textile traditions and the resourcefulness of its people during the Depression era. The quilt's use of silk fabric, a luxury material at the time, speaks to the ingenuity and creativity of the artist and the importance of art and design during this period. The Silk Bed Quilt is an essential addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the colonial period to the present day. It is a valuable and cherished piece of American heritage, showcasing the beauty and diversity of American art and the enduring appeal of traditional crafts.
