EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard dress design by Eleanor Ruelos, titled "Dress, c. 1939," showcases the exquisite fusion of the 18th and 20th centuries. The intricate floral pattern adorning the ivory gown is reminiscent of the opulent rococo designs of the 18th century, while the hoop skirt and crinoline silhouette are characteristic of the 1930s and 1940s. The dress is further embellished with delicate lace trim and pink flowers, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. Ruelos, an American artist, masterfully captures the essence of the period with her use of color and fabric. The dress is depicted in a rich palette of hues, with the pink flowers standing out against the ivory background. The texture of the fabric is suggested through the intricate brushwork, giving the viewer a sense of the weight and drape of the material. This dress design is a testament to the enduring influence of the past on fashion and the art of dressmaking. It is a beautiful example of the heritage art of clothing design and the evolution of women's wear from the 18th to the 20th century. The dress can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art and fashion.
