Quilts
Loretta Pettway (b. 1942), Medallion, c. 1960
Synthetic knit and cotton stacking material, 80 x 70 in.; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation
Loretta Pettway’s quilts show the resistance, or reluctance, to make quilts the way anyone else would; she became a fine technician, but that rarely seems to be what she cares most about. In this work, she deliberately surrounds an area of six blocks with black and white frames whose irregularity reinforces the drama and energy of the piece.
These images show the entirety of the quilts, including their handmade edges, against a white background.
