Colcha

Made from cut and sewn fabrics, this quilt displays geometric patterns in relief, characteristic of the art deco style, a development of the cubist experiments that marked the arts in the early 20th century. From Regina’s studio, this piece was most likely executed by one of her pupils. A similar quilt, produced by Regina Graz, was in the famous Casa Modernista [Modernist House], designed by Gregori Warchavchik and opened to public visiting in 1930, in an exhibition that exalted the modern ideal of living. In period photos, the piece appears in the couple’s bedroom, covering the bed, whose headboard bears a painting by Tarsila do Amaral.
