EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately designed Afghan Throw, created by Erwin Stenzel in 1938, is a true testament to the rich heritage of Afghan craftsmanship. The throw showcases a stunning floral design that effortlessly blends various colors and patterns, creating a visually captivating piece of art. Stenzel's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he masterfully combines watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard to bring this textile masterpiece to life. The result is a multi-colored blanket that exudes warmth and elegance. As we admire this period item from the 1930s-1940s, we are transported back in time to an era where functional objects were also considered works of art. This Afghan Throw not only served its practical purpose but also adorned homes with its decorative charm. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece represents the fusion of American and Afghan influences. It serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange between nations during this period. Erwin Stenzel's creation stands as an enduring symbol of artistic expression across borders. Its presence within the Index of American Design further solidifies its significance within American history. Whether appreciated for its historical value or admired purely for its aesthetic appeal, this Afghan Throw remains an exquisite example of decorative arts that continues to captivate viewers today.
