This photograph from the Liszt Collection showcases the artistic talents of Artelia Bendolph, a resident of Gee Bend, Alabama. Taken by renowned American photographer Arthur Rothstein in 1937, this gelatin silver print measures 40 x 49.7 cm (15 3/4 x 19 9/16 in. ), allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail. The image transports us to a simpler time, where rural life was celebrated through creativity and resourcefulness. In this particular piece, Artelia Bendolph's talent shines through as she skillfully weaves together vibrant colors and bold patterns into a quilt-like design. Each stitch tells a story of community and resilience. Gee Bend itself is known for its rich history and strong sense of community among African American women who have passed down their quilting traditions for generations. Through their artistry, they have created unique masterpieces that transcend mere fabric; these quilts are expressions of love, heritage, and cultural identity. Arthur Rothstein's keen eye captures not only the physical beauty of Artelia's work but also the spirit behind it. The composition draws our attention to the intricate details while highlighting the overall unity within each square patchwork. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, we are reminded of the power of art to connect people across time and place.
