EDITORS COMMENTS
Printed Cotton, c. 1939" is a captivating watercolor and graphite on paper artwork by Michael Trekur that transports us back in time to the idyllic countryside of America during the 1930s and 1940s. The scene is set along the banks of a serene river, where a horse-drawn wagon loaded with multi-colored printed cotton fabric is making its way toward a stately country house. The horses, with their manes flowing in the wind, pull the wagon effortlessly, while the passengers, dressed in period attire, enjoy a leisurely picnic on the grassy embankment. The background is dotted with quaint houses and barns, their red, white, and blue facades reflecting the American heritage and patriotism of the era. In the distance, boats and barges can be seen on the river, adding to the bustling scene of road transport and waterway transportation. The use of vibrant colors and intricate patterns in the printed cotton fabric adds a decorative and functional element to the artwork, showcasing the genre scene of rural life during this time. Michael Trekur's "Printed Cotton, c. 1939" is an exquisite example of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts and folk culture initiated by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression. This artwork not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States.
