Tablecover: "Crazy"

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The tablecover "Crazy" by an unknown artist, is square shaped and framed by a vibrant orange border with gathered edges. The background of the tablecover is predominantly dark red with a subtle sheen suggesting silk or similar fabric. Scattered across the surface are numerous leaf-like shapes in blue and red hues. These shapes are outlined and interconnected by yellow stitching that resembles a flowing, organic pattern. The stitching creates a sense of movement across the fabric. The leaf-like shapes vary in size and are oriented in different directions.
