Textile, Heirlooms
This is a Textile. It was designed by Albert John Pucci and produced by Associated American Artists. It is dated 1952 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is cotton and its technique is printed. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Heirlooms, created by romantic cubist painter Albert John Pucci, was an early Associated American Artists textile design released by Riverdale Fabrics as part of the Country Fragrance collection in 1953. (1) The design features an assortment of antiques, including oil lamps, porcelain figurines, and elaborately framed mirrors on a blue-green ground.
This design in a blue-green colorway (5826.26.2016) is also presented for consideration.
There are currently two examples of Pucci’s work in the museum’s collection: textiles called Harvest (1994-38-9) and Duck Blind, 1953 (1994-38-11).
