Name/Title
Towel, Wallhanging: Motif Gourmet, Cheese 284Description
A silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting various types of cheese and cheese names along with a fondue pot, glass bottles, fruit and a cutting board.
This print is from Country Prints’ Motif Gourmet collection, a decidedly design-forward group of towel/wallhangings and accessories that veered away from Wert’s typical Americana themes. This print was available in orange or turquoise colorways. Coordinating kitchen accessories were also offered; see images.
This print appears in the brochure “Country Prints by Robert Darr Wert and Neighbors”, c.1966; see images.
Two strike-offs exist of an unused design for this towel/wallhanging; see one example below.Made/Created
