Textile

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a woven textile featuring a geometric pattern composed of horizontal bands with stylized motifs. The primary colors are cream, with accents of blue and red. It is divided into sections with wide blue stripes bordered by smaller red lines and scattered motifs resembling arrows or feather shapes in alternating blue and red. The symmetry and repetition of patterns suggest a carefully designed and woven piece. The overall impression is one of artisanal craftsmanship, with a focus on harmony and balance in the design elements.
