EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately designed hooked rug, titled "Hooked Rug (Cotton)" and created by Charlotte Angus around 1940, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. The rug, which measures an impressive size, is made entirely of cotton and showcases a rich palette of colors and textures. Angus's expert use of the hooked rug technique, a traditional American folk art form, results in a multi-dimensional and visually captivating piece that invites close examination. The rug's design features a variety of geometric shapes and abstract patterns, arranged in a harmonious and balanced composition. The use of watercolour and graphite on paper as a preliminary sketch for the rug adds an additional layer of artistic depth and intrigue. The rug's origins are rooted in the rural traditions of the United States, reflecting the country's rich heritage of folk art. This period piece, which hails from the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the enduring appeal of folk art and the creativity and skill of its makers. The rug's bold colors and intricate design make it a standout addition to any art collection or decorative arts gallery, adding a touch of history, charm, and character to any space. The rug's origins in the 1930s and 1940s, a time of great change and innovation in American culture, further adds to its historical significance and value as a work of art.
