Log Cabin Quilt

Charlotte Angus

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a quilt pattern with vibrant colors and grapevine motifs. The upper portion displays a series of concentric squares filled with contrasting colors: red, pink, orange, black, and white, arranged in a log cabin quilt style. The lower portion features a grapevine motif with leaves and clusters of grapes in green and purple hues. The artwork combines geometric and organic elements, creating a diverse visual texture. The background is a neutral shade that highlights the colors and patterns. The style is reminiscent of early 20th-century American folk art, likely inspired by traditional quilting techniques.
