Cap
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour and graphite on paper artwork created by American artist Jessie M. Benge in the 1930s or 1940s. The image depicts a woman wearing a charming cap adorned with frills and decorative elements. The cap, which could be described as a bonnet or headdress, sits atop the woman's head, framing her face and adding a playful touch to her outfit. The artwork, titled "Cap," is a testament to the fashion trends of the time, specifically the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The intricately designed cap is a reflection of the period's emphasis on feminine and decorative clothing. The use of watercolour and graphite techniques adds depth and texture to the piece, making the cap appear almost three-dimensional. The artwork is a significant addition to the Decorative Arts and Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is an excellent example of the Index of American Design, which documents the material culture and visual arts of the United States from the colonial period to the 1940s. The artwork is not only a beautiful piece of art but also an important historical artifact, providing insight into the fashion and design of the time. Jessie M. Benge was an accomplished American artist known for her work in watercolour and graphite. Her artwork, including "Cap," can be found in various galleries and museums across the United States, showcasing her talent and contribution to American art history. The National Gallery of Art is proud to display "Cap," a charming and intricately designed piece that continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists today.
