EDITORS COMMENTS
This quilt design, created by the skilled hands of Genevieve Jordan in approximately 1941, showcases the rich artistic heritage of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The quilt, now a cherished piece of history, is a stunning example of the functional art that emerged during this period. Genevieve Jordan's Quilt, c. 1941, is a vibrant masterpiece of appliqué and needlework, featuring intricately cut and sewn pieces of cloth in bold shades of green and red. The quilt's design is a harmonious blend of color and form, with each shape and pattern skillfully arranged to create a visually striking composition. Jordan's use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard to create an index of her design further highlights the meticulous attention to detail and planning that went into the creation of this quilt. The quilt's age, now over eighty years old, only adds to its allure, making it a valuable addition to any art or textile collection. The Quilt, c. 1941, is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional crafts and the artistic vision of its creator. It is a reminder of the important role that functional art played in American culture during the 1930s and 1940s and the continued relevance of these designs in contemporary art and design. This quilt, now housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art, textiles, or the decorative arts. Its presence in the gallery's collection is a testament to its significance as a piece of heritage art and its role in shaping the artistic landscape of the United States.
