Coverlet - Section of Reverse Side c. 1937

This 1937 abstract artwork, “Coverlet - Section of Reverse Side” by Cornelius Christoffels, showcases a repetitive geometric pattern that uses a light blue background with bright red squares, circles, and diamond shapes. The artwork is part of a larger piece that highlights the intricate details of a quilt's reverse side, which is rarely seen, but is a beautiful example of an everyday object turned into a work of art. The artist, Cornelius Christoffels (1879 - 1960) was known for his use of color and repetition in his work, and this abstract pattern is no exception.
