Bedspread c. 1936

"Bedspread" is a design by E. Boyd, circa 1936. It is a gouache on paper and features a decorative, repeating floral pattern. The design is characterized by its use of bold colors, including pink, blue, yellow, and brown, which are set against a light gray background. This whimsical design was intended to be a silk screen print for fabric, and the piece was intended to act as a color plate for the silk screen printing process. It is likely that the finished product would have been a bedspread as the title suggests.
