Figures with Still Life

Ruth Reeves American

Not on view

Reeves attended art schools from 1910 until the late teens in New York and from 1920 to 1927 in Paris, where she studied with Fernand Léger at the Académie Moderne. In 1930 the New York City retailer W. & J. Sloane commissioned her to design modern fabrics for a country house. This textile was inspired by the subject matter, style, and scale of Cubist paintings by Picasso and Léger.
