The New Rug will be included in the E. I. Couse Catalogue Raisonné.
The New Rug is housed in its original frame designed by Couse.
Couse historian Virginia Couse Leavitt writes, “In The New Rug, Antonio Lujan of Taos Pueblo proudly displays a neatly folded Navajo blanket in front of him. His steady gaze compels the viewer to consider the intrinsic beauty of the Native craft he holds in his hands. Couse was himself an ardent admirer of Native American crafts.”
Originally painted as part of a campaign for the Beacon Manufacturing Company in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Leavitt stated, “Several of the paintings in the Beacon blanket series rank among the artist’s best work. His success in raising a commercial concept to the status of fine art illustrates his creative flexibility under that kind of pressure. An outstanding example is found in The New Rug, the second painting purchased by Beacon Manufacturing.”
