Print sample 1951

This 1951 "Print Sample" by an anonymous artist is a black and white geometric design executed in a textile format. It consists of a repeating pattern of white triangles against a black background. This sample, found in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, could have been intended for use in a variety of contexts, such as fashion, furniture, or interior design. The bold, graphic nature of the design reflects the trend of mid-century modernism, which favored simplicity and functionality.
