Charlotte Winter

Charlotte Winter was an American artist whose documented period of activity spanned the years 1935 and 1936. Her known professional output consists primarily of documentation associated with the Index of American Designs, a component of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Art Project.

Winter is represented in collections by 15 works detailing utilitarian objects, textiles, and domestic artifacts reflective of American craft history. These included precise renderings of objects such as a Beaker, various Buttons, a Dress, and an Embroidered Handkerchief. Her work, characterized by faithful representation essential for historical documentation, preserves details of early American material culture.

Fifteen works by Charlotte Winter are held in major institutional collections, establishing her contributions to the Index of American Designs. The National Gallery of Art holds numerous examples of her detailed studies. Today, the detailed documentation produced by the Index, including available Charlotte Winter prints, is often reproduced, providing access to museum-quality historical designs. Such documentation is frequently offered as high-quality prints for researchers and collectors.
