Woman's Apron c. 1920s

"Woman's Apron" is an anonymous work of textile art dating back to the 1920s. The vibrantly colored apron, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a striking example of traditional folk art. It features a bold, striped pattern of yellow, green, purple, pink, and black, with a slightly ruffled hemline. The piece's simple yet impactful design speaks to the enduring power of textile traditions, and its use as a garment for everyday life offers insight into the crafts of its time.
