18 Printed Delaines

Martha Reed

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a grid of twelve triangles, each divided diagonally to display various patterns and colors. The designs include lines, checks, waves, and organic motifs. The patterns are reminiscent of floral arrangements, woven textiles, and tiled surfaces. The intricate designs, framed by triangles, resemble decorative tiles or fabric swatches, each unique in its storytelling through color and pattern.
