EDITORS COMMENTS
Quilt, 1935/1942" is a stunning and intricately designed applique quilt created by American artist Elizabeth T. Reike during the 1930s and 1940s. This exquisite piece, now preserved in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Reike's exceptional skill in needlework, embroidery, and fabric manipulation. The quilt's background is a rich, deep black, providing a striking contrast to the vibrant floral patterns that adorn the quilt's surface. The quilt's design is a beautiful blend of the 1930s and 1940s, reflecting the artistic trends and cultural influences of the time. Reike's use of color is masterful, with pink roses and other floral elements standing out against the black background. The quilt is not only a visual feast but also a testament to the artist's dedication to her craft. The quilt's intricate patterns and designs were created using a combination of watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper, which were then carefully transferred to the fabric and sewn into place. This quilt is an important piece of American decorative arts history, showcasing the artistry and creativity of the period. It is a cherished item in the National Gallery of Art's collection, which is dedicated to preserving and sharing the artistic heritage of the United States. The quilt's intricate design and beautiful color palette make it a standout piece in any art or textile collection. Whether admired in person at the National Gallery of Art or in reproduction form, "Quilt, 1935/1942" is a reminder of the beauty and importance of American folk art and the artists who created it.
