EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite applique quilt, created by American artist Ruth Buker around 1940, showcases the intricate and detailed craftsmanship of the decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The vibrant green and pink color palette, reminiscent of the natural beauty of the American countryside, is brought to life through the meticulous application of fabric pieces, each one carefully cut and sewn onto the background fabric. The quilt's central design features a large, stylized rose, its petals radiating outwards in a delicate dance of color and texture. The rose is surrounded by intricate floral and geometric patterns, all executed with the precision and finesse of a master craftswoman. The quilt's edges are adorned with delicate embroidery and graphite outlines, adding an elegant and refined touch to this beautiful work of art. Ruth Buker's applique quilt is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional needlework techniques and the beauty of American folk art. It is a period item that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the creativity and skill of its artists. This quilt is currently housed in the Decorative Arts and Design collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. The quilt's watercolor and graphite on paper sketch, also by Ruth Buker, provides a fascinating glimpse into the artist's creative process and the thoughtful planning that went into bringing this stunning work of art to life.
