EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing from the portfolio "Folk Art of Rural Pennsylvania", created around 1939. The artist behind this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The drawing, featured as Plate 9 in the portfolio, beautifully captures the essence of rural life in early 20th century America. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it transports viewers to a bygone era filled with rich cultural heritage. A closer look reveals a stunning floral design at the center of the composition. Delicate flowers bloom gracefully against a backdrop of deep blue hues, creating a harmonious blend between nature and artistry. The use of gouache on paper brings out the vividness and depth of each stroke. Symbolism plays an important role in this artwork as well. A star-shaped pattern adorns the corners, representing both colonial influence and religious significance within Pennsylvania's German community during that time period. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of how folk art serves as a window into our past - preserving traditions, stories, and ways of life that might otherwise be forgotten. This particular drawing is part of the Index of American Design collection housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , ensuring that future generations can appreciate its beauty for years to come.
