Printed Textile

Eleanor Rogers

National Gallery of Art

The image displays blocky, zigzagging lines and rectangular shapes in a symmetric arrangement creating an intricate and abstract pattern. The use of square and rectangular forms gives the piece a mosaic-like quality, reminiscent of a quilt or artful textile. The top features a row of stepped lines, the central area has cascading chevron patterns, and the bottom section includes cross-like figures. The color scheme includes earthy browns, deep greens, and small orange floral-like dots.
