EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Printed and Woven Cotton, c. 1936" by Millia Davenport, showcases the artist's mastery of abstract design and her innovative approach to textile art. Davenport's use of watercolor gouache, pen and ink, and graphite on paperboard creates a rich, textured image that beautifully captures the essence of the textile itself. The intricate design features a checkered pattern of multicolored squares, with each square containing a smaller, abstracted representation of woven fabric. The squares are arranged in a dynamic, asymmetrical grid, adding to the visual interest and energy of the piece. Millia Davenport's work is an important contribution to the Decorative Arts and Design movements of the 1930s and 1940s in America. This print is a testament to her ability to create functional art that transcends its intended purpose and becomes a work of beauty and intrigue in its own right. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, which serves as an index of American Design and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States. The print's vibrant colors and bold design make it a standout piece, transporting viewers to a bygone era and inviting them to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the past.
