EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Woven Coverlet by Theodore Pfitzer, created around 1937, is a captivating example of American decorative arts from the 20th century. The coverlet, with its intricate floral motifs and star design, showcases Pfitzer's exceptional skill as a designer and artist. The black and white color palette, achieved through watercolor graphite and gouache on paper, adds to the timeless appeal of this piece. Theodore George Pfitzer (1884-1962) was an accomplished American artist, known for his work in various media including textiles, watercolors, and graphic arts. This coverlet, with its basket of flowers and fringe detail, is reminiscent of the arts and crafts movement popular during the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this period item in its collection, which is a testament to the importance of preserving and celebrating our artistic heritage. The coverlet's floral motifs and star design are typical of the decorative arts of the time, reflecting the influence of traditional American quilting and weaving techniques. This coverlet is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the aesthetic sensibilities of the 1930s and 1940s in America. Its inclusion in the Index of American Design further underscores its significance in the history of American art and craft.
