Printed Cotton

Julie C. Brush

National Gallery of Art

The image shows repeated emblematic shapes comprising circular forms with feathers or leaves in an orderly grid. The elements are abstract, with concentric circles resembling targets, surrounded by petal-like shapes. The repeated shapes create a tapestry-like appearance reminiscent of crests or emblems often seen in heraldry or on flags, while still being artistic and decorative.
