EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning dress, created by American artist Jessie M. Benge around 1936, is a captivating fusion of the 18th and 20th centuries. The intricately detailed artwork, rendered in graphite colored pencil, pen and ink, and gouache on paper, showcases the dress from both the front and back. The dress's design is reminiscent of the 18th century, with its high waistline, full skirt, and puffed sleeves. However, the use of modern materials such as lace and the bow at the waist, along with the more subtle color palette, places it firmly in the 1930s. The dress's front depicts a woman in a graceful, elegant pose, while the back reveals the intricate detailing of the lace and the delicate sleeves. This dress is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also a fascinating reflection of American fashion history. The index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. houses this precious piece, which continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. The dress's position in the gallery invites us to appreciate not only its visual beauty, but also the rich cultural heritage it represents.
