About the Artwork

Mary Lee Bendolph (b. 1935), Blocks and strips (detail), 2002

Wool, cotton, corduroy, 98 x 86 in.; National Gallery of Art, Museum purchase and gift of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation

One of the best-known and most revered quiltmakers, Mary Lee Bendolph has spent many decades transforming scraps of old cloth into aesthetic marvels. To create her quilts, she tears worn and discarded clothing into simple strips and blocks of fabric, then assembles them into highly refined geometric abstractions. Her genius resides in her ability to invent a seemingly endless variety of complex compositions and astounding visual effects from a rudimentary vocabulary of shapes.
