EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating work of art created by the renowned American duo Berlin & Jones around 1865, invites us to explore the intricacies of love and romance during the Victorian era in the United States. This exquisite piece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistic innovation and craftsmanship of the time. The untitled valentine card, a collage of collaged elements on cut and embossed ivory wove paper, showcases an intricate design of three interconnected heart shapes. The hearts are adorned with gilding and gilt, adding a touch of elegance and luxury to the piece. The color palette consists of rich hues of red and purple, symbolizing love and passion. The close-up view of the card reveals the intricate details of the heart shapes, each one unique yet perfectly symmetrical. The hearts are not only heart-shaped but also heart-themed, with each one containing a smaller heart within it. This design not only adds to the visual appeal but also symbolizes the depth and complexity of love. The use of collaged elements adds an element of surprise and discovery, as one notices the various textures and patterns that come together to create this stunning work of art. The collage technique was a popular method during the Victorian era, often used to create intricate and decorative greeting cards. Untitled Valentine (Three Hearts) is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the enduring power of love and romance. This beautiful piece continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day, making it a must-see for anyone visiting the Art Institute of Chicago or interested in the history of American art.
