Woven Quilt

Samuel Fineman and Gordon Saltar

National Gallery of Art

The image displays intricate zigzag and circular patterns arranged in horizontal bands. These abstract forms combine to create a visually engaging tapestry-like design. The shapes are reminiscent of floral petals and leaves. Vibrant colors such as red, blue, and green enhance these connections, evoking the lushness of a garden. The pattern repeats methodically across the fabric, suggesting a sense of rhythm and order found in nature.
