Textile, Puppet Ballet
This is a Textile. It was produced by Associated American Artists. It is dated 1953 and we acquired it in 2017. Its medium is cotton and its technique is printed. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Jacqueline Groag was one of only a few Associated American Artists designers with technical training in textile arts. As such, her creations reflected a sophisticated understanding of colors and repeats, as well as the fabrics’ intended use in three-dimensional formats. (1)
Puppet Ballet, which appeared inside the front cover of the April-May 1954 Vogue Pattern Book (2), features toy-like figures whose bodies are constructed from geometric shapes. The design is predominantly line drawn in black on a beige ground, with the occasional puppet part accented in orange, yellow, black, or white.
