"Shingled: A Glimpse into the Captivating Era of the 1920s" Step back in time with Reginald Higgins' masterpiece, "Cut and he will not come again, " as we explore the allure bobbed hair that defined women's fashion in the 1920s. In a dimly lit room at night, a mysterious woman from this era captivates our imagination. Gerda Wegener's "The Rape of the Lock" transports us to an era where unconventional beauty reigned supreme. Fraulein von Poremski dons an unusual Eton crop, showcasing her rebellious spirit and embracing change. Eugene's iconic "Shingled bobbed hair" revolutionized hairstyles in 1923, symbolizing liberation and modernity. The waves and curls add a touch of elegance to this timeless coiffure with a chignon. As we delve deeper into history, Hyen's old houses depicted in his oil on canvas painting from 1917-18 remind us of the charm found within architectural heritage. From there, we journey to breathtaking coastal landscapes captured by an artist in 1881 on canvas – transporting us to serene shores filled with tranquility. Svartediket's mill portrayed through oil on canvas takes us back to simpler times when rural life thrived amidst nature's beauty. Its rustic appeal evokes nostalgia for days gone by.
