EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable "Fragment from a Mantle" originating from Peru, dating back to the years between A. D. 1000 and 1476. Created by an unknown artist, this textile piece represents the rich artistic heritage of the American Indian culture. The intricate design of this fragment is truly awe-inspiring. It features a band of plain weave with slit tapestry tab fringe, skillfully woven using cotton and wool camelid fibers in two and three complementary colors. The inner warps are self-patterned by weft floats, adding depth and texture to the overall composition. One cannot help but be drawn to the aquatic life depicted on this fabric masterpiece. Delicate fish motifs swim gracefully across its surface, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and mastery of pattern-making techniques. As we admire this pre-Columbian artifact, it serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of indigenous peoples in South America during the 11th to 15th centuries. Its vibrant colors and decorative elements reflect both local traditions and influences from neighboring cultures. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art center or gallery, this Fragment from a Mantle invites us into a world where craftsmanship meets storytelling through textiles. Though its creator remains unknown, their legacy lives on through this extraordinary piece that continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and cultural significance.
