EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Pa. German Fractur Design by Page Coffman, created in 1937, showcases the rich artistic heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch and German colonies in America. The intricate and colorful design is a beautiful example of the Fraktur art tradition, which originated in Europe during the 18th century and was brought to the New World by German settlers. The document, dated in the 1930s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this decorative art form, which features illuminated manuscript and calligraphy, often adorned with floral patterns and geometric shapes. This particular piece, which is a watercolor, pen and ink, and graphite on paperboard, is a vibrant and multicolored work of art that captures the essence of the Fraktur style. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is home to this important piece of American cultural history. The Gallery's Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s, includes this Pa. German Fractur Design by Page Coffman as part of its extensive collection. The design's floral motifs and delicate pen work are reminiscent of the 18th and 19th centuries, yet its creation in the 1930s highlights the continuity and evolution of this unique artistic tradition in America. This beautiful and intricate work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch and German colonies and serves as a reminder of the important role that art plays in preserving and celebrating our history.
