EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Shaker Rug, created by American artist George V. Vezolles between 1935 and 1942, is a beautiful example of the functional art and design that emerged from the Shaker community during the 19th and 20th centuries. The rug, which measures approximately 24 x 36 inches, is a rectangular, multi-colored, floral design, featuring intricate patterns and shapes in various shades of red, green, blue, and yellow. Vezolles, a renowned decorative artist, captured the essence of Shaker craftsmanship in this watercolor and graphite on paper design, which was later translated into a woolen rug. The design showcases the artist's mastery of floral patterns, with delicate petals, leaves, and stems arranged in a harmonious composition. The Shaker community, known for their simple, utilitarian lifestyle, produced a wide range of functional items, including furniture, baskets, and textiles. Their designs were characterized by their geometric and floral motifs, which reflected their spiritual beliefs and connection to nature. This Shaker Rug, now a cherished piece of American heritage art, is part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It is a testament to the enduring influence of Shaker design on American art and culture, and a reminder of the beauty and functionality that can be found in the simplest of objects.
