Textile art (quilt)
Wilda A. Rice was an American textile artist active in the 1930s who created painted, embroidered, and pieced quilts drawing imagery from popular culture. Her work combined multiple textile techniques, painting, embroidery, and piecing, within a single quilt surface, a practice uncommon among her contemporaries. Rice's quilts functioned as a form of visual commentary on the mass media and consumer culture of the Depression era.
