Small Card Decorated with Chrysanthemums and Morning Glory Christopher Grant La Farge (American, 1862-1938). Small Card Decorated with Chrysanthemums and Morning Glory, ca. 1880. Watercolor on very thin card stock, 3 1/16 x 4 5/16 in. (7.8 x 11 cm). Created for use as calling cards, place cards, or menu cards, these charming items indicate how the Japan craze” permeated all facets of artistic production. Grant La Farge’s familiarity with Japanese motifs (such as Mount Fuji, chrysanthemums, and bamboo shoots) undoubtedly came from his family. His father, the artist John La Farge, embraced Japanese aesthetics in his own art and also collected and published widely on Japanese art; Grant La Farge’s mother, Margaret, was the grandniece of Commodore Matthew Perry.

Red Poppies. Artist: Charles Demuth (American, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 1883-1935 Lancaster, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: 13 7/8 x 19 7/8 in. (35.2 x 50.5 cm). Date: 1929.Debilitated by diabetes during the last eight years of his life, Demuth's artistic output was also severely curtailed. Ironically, however, his late works, as evidenced by this 1929 watercolor of poppies (so reminiscent of O'Keeffe's poppies of 1927), are some of his boldest in terms of color, draftsmanship, and design. Unlike the luminous transparency of earlier botanical studies, the watercolor here is applied rather opaquely. The spiked contours and gentle curves of the flowers direct our eye around the composition, coming to rest on the large open blossom in the center. Presenting the full cycle of the flower - budding, opening, blooming, and decaying - he also suggests the human life cycle, and perhaps his own diminished physical strength.

Floral print with figures 1785-90 French, possibly Nantes Stimulated by earlier imports of Indian printed cottons, by the second half of the nineteenth century French printed textiles became the most popular and affordable figurative fabrics for both dress and furnishings, surpassing silk in national production. This trend occurred despite strident restrictions, demanded by silk weavers, prohibiting domestic trade and use of printed cottons throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Reflecting developments in the printing industry, by the 1770s engraved copperplates started to replace simpler woodblocks, allowing for finely nuanced and beautifully detailed designs in furnishing fabrics like this one. This printed cotton was displayed in European Textiles and Costume Figures, on view at the School of Industrial Arts (visible at right in the photograph of 1935).Elizabeth Cleland, 2020.

Design for a Waistcoat Pocket Made 1770-1810 France (Object made in), Lyon (Object Probably made in). In the 18th century designs for textiles were often drawn by professionals trained in floral painting. Designs for waistcoats usually show the lower edge of the garment from the pocket to the hem, indicating to both embroiderer and client all of the motifs included in the pattern. Some drawings are inscribed with numbers. Such numbers helped the merchant and makers identify patterns and prices when a client selected a pattern..
