Wall Decoration c. 1939

John Collins’ “Wall Decoration,” created around 1939, showcases a vibrant floral pattern with bold, simplified forms. The composition is a repeating design of pink rose hips with dark green leaves against a soft, earthy background. The artist’s simple, yet expressive brushstrokes contribute to a sense of spontaneity and charm, typical of decorative art. This piece is an excellent example of decorative design, often used for wallpaper or textile designs.
