EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and graphite on paper rendering by Joseph L. Boyd captures the essence of American fashion in the late 1930s with his creation, "Afternoon Coat, c. 1938." Boyd's artistic vision transports us back in time to a bygone era, where the elegance and sophistication of women's apparel were at the forefront of fashion trends. The "Afternoon Coat" is a stunning example of the decorative arts that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s. The black color palette, with its rich depth and contrast, adds an air of mystery and allure to the design. The coat's embroidered details, featuring intricate needlework and tassels, showcase the artist's mastery of the needle and thread. The coat's design is reminiscent of the stylish yet practical clothing worn by women during this period. The concept of an "afternoon coat" suggests a versatile piece that could be worn for various occasions, from a casual outing to a more formal event. The time of day reference also highlights the importance of dressing appropriately for the occasion, a value that continues to resonate with us today. As an index of American design, this piece showcases the country's rich artistic heritage and the influence of fashion on our cultural identity. The "Afternoon Coat, c. 1938" is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of the past, and a reminder of the enduring allure of fashion as an art form. This work of art can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
