スミソニアン博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (スミソニアン博物館Instagram)「Marguerita Mergentime began her design career in New York City in the 1920s, making dress fabrics and bath and beach accessories, before debuting her first designs for home linens. Her modernist textile designs started to retail at department stores and appear in popular magazines—shown as essential for the hostess who wanted to to spice up informal dining. Mergentime blended bold colors, typography, and a fascination with American culture and history into her festive pieces. Her "talking" tablecloths showed her strength as a graphic designer, using expressive typefaces for the words that would set the table and sometimes quizzing diners about food history (with answers in a separate booklet). Our @cooperhewitt presents Mergentime's influential but underrecognized work, the first dedicated museum presentation of her work in 75 years, in their exhibition “Tablescapes: Designs for Dining.” ✨ This #WomensHistoryMonth, we're sharing how the American story changed #BecauseOfHerStory.」3月19日 7時48分
