EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black satin jacket, created by American artist Joseph L. Boyd around 1938, is a captivating example of 20th-century fashion design. The jacket, which is believed to be a ladies' garment, is depicted in this watercolor gouache and pen and ink drawing. The intricate pattern on the jacket's surface, with its geometric shapes and repetitive motifs, adds an element of visual interest and sophistication. The jacket's sleek black satin fabric, which is beautifully rendered in the artwork, was a popular choice for elegant evening wear during the 1930s and 1940s. The jacket is also lined, adding to its luxurious feel and durability. This artwork is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. The Index aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and design from the colonial period to the present day. Boyd's drawing of the black satin jacket is a valuable contribution to this important collection, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and artistic sensibilities of the time. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which houses this artwork, is a renowned cultural institution that showcases a diverse range of art from various periods and genres. The gallery's collection includes works from the United States and around the world, reflecting the rich heritage of human creativity. This drawing of the black satin jacket is a testament to the enduring appeal of fashion as an art form and a reflection of American culture during the 1930s and 1940s.
