Calico, 1940 - A Vibrant Tapestry of American Folk Art
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite work of Marie Lutrell in her creation titled "Calico, 1940". As a prominent figure in the mid-20th century American art scene, Lutrell's talent shines through this piece that beautifully captures the essence of rural America. The close-up view reveals an intricate design meticulously embroidered on fabric. Bursting with color and life, vibrant flowers bloom across a red calico background. The floral pattern is reminiscent of traditional folk art motifs, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. Lutrell's skillful use of watercolor gouache and graphite on paper adds depth and texture to the artwork. Each delicate pencil stroke brings out the fine details of every petal and leaf. The repetition within the pattern creates a harmonious rhythm that draws viewers into its enchanting world. With its old-fashioned charm and decorative appeal, "Calico, 1940" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to America's rich heritage. This piece exemplifies how art can capture not only nature's beauty but also cultural traditions passed down through generations. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this iconic artwork by Marie Lutrell continues to inspire visitors from around the world. It stands as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there is still great value in preserving our artistic roots and celebrating our shared history.
