Shirt 1920 - 1930

This "Shirt" from the early 20th century, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a striking example of textile art. The anonymous artist used a simple but effective technique, weaving a long, narrow piece of fabric with vertical stripes of red running along the center. The thin, delicate fabric, potentially made of cotton or linen, creates a textural surface and highlights the contrast between the vibrant red stripes and the cream-colored background. This artwork is a fascinating reminder of the creative potential of everyday materials and textile traditions.
