EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Crewel Embroidery Border, created by American artist Lawrence Peterson in approximately 1938, showcases the intricate beauty and timeless appeal of this traditional needlework technique. The border measures an impressive length, adorned with a vibrant and multicolored floral design that seems to dance along the edge of the fabric. Peterson's expert use of color and shading, achieved through a combination of watercolor and graphite on paper, adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it a true work of art. The Crewel Embroidery Border is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The intricacy and attention to detail required to create such a piece reflect the functional and artistic value placed on needlework during this period. The border would have once adorned a piece of fabric, perhaps a tablecloth or wall hanging, adding a touch of elegance and beauty to the home. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic achievements of the past. The border is a standout piece in the gallery's Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. With its intricate floral design and masterful execution, this Crewel Embroidery Border by Lawrence Peterson continues to captivate and inspire viewers, a testament to the enduring allure of this traditional craft.
