Sidewall, Ducks and Grasses
This is a Sidewall. It was designed by Ilonka Karasz and made by Katzenbach and Warren, Inc.. We acquired it in 1951. Its medium is screen printed on paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
One of Karasz’s earlier repeating patterns, Ducks and Grasses displays a creative use of positive and negative space. The ducks are rendered as outlines and assume the background coloring, while the use of grasses in front and behind the ducks suggests depth.
