Colcha (Bedspread), c. 1937 - A Vibrant Tapestry of American Craftsmanship
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite artistry and functional beauty of Marjery Parish's "Colcha (Bedspread)" from 1937. Created during a time when America was emerging from the depths of the Great Depression, this bedcover stands as a testament to the resilience and creativity that flourished amidst adversity. Parish's mastery in embroidery and quilting is evident in every intricate stitch, resulting in a mesmerizing display of color and pattern. The multi-colored zigzag design, rendered with watercolor gouache and graphite on paper, exudes an energy that enlivens any space it adorns. As part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece represents not only an artistic achievement but also a significant cultural heritage. It reflects both Parish's individual talent and her contribution to preserving traditional craft techniques passed down through generations. The colcha serves as a tangible link to America's rich history, evoking images of country homes adorned with handmade treasures like this one. Its presence invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also the skillful craftsmanship behind it. Whether displayed within an art gallery or cherished within a private home, Marjery Parish's "Colcha (Bedspread)" transports us back to a bygone era while reminding us that true art endures beyond its creation - it weaves together
