Fragment of Comforter 1938

"Fragment of Comforter" is a 1938 work by American artist Hardin Walsh (1855-1995). The work is a simple, yet powerful, representation of a fragment of fabric, likely from a worn-out comforter. The checkered pattern of the fabric, in blue and off-white, is captured in detail, emphasizing the everyday object's texture and history. Walsh's work is often categorized as minimalist, focused on presenting simple objects in a manner that invites contemplation and introspection.
