EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Historic Coverlet, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1936, showcases a captivating design featuring a proud eagle perched atop a tricolored blanket adorned with birds and other animal motifs. The coverlet, which measures an impressive size, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Barnes, a skilled artist, employed a combination of watercolor, graphite pen, and ink, and gouache on paper to bring this intricate and detailed work to life. The coverlet's bold black color palette, with its striking contrast against the tricolored blanket, adds depth and dimension to the design. The coverlet's patterned elements showcase a variety of birds, including birds of prey such as eagles, as well as other avian species. The eagle, a symbol of power and freedom, is a prominent feature of the design, adding a sense of national pride and heritage to the piece. This historic coverlet is a prime example of the decorative arts that emerged during the 20th century, specifically during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity that flourished during this period, and is an important addition to any collection of American art or decorative arts. The coverlet is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is on display for visitors to appreciate and enjoy. Its inclusion in the Index of American Design further cements its significance as an important piece of American artistic history.
