EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and graphite on paperboard artwork, titled "Infant's Shirt" by American artist Richard Whitaker, dates back to the 1930s. The image captures a simple yet elegant baby shirt adorned with intricate lace trim, showcasing the attention to detail and artistry of the era. The shirt, with its soft white color and subtle texture, evokes a sense of innocence and nostalgia. The decade of the 1930s and 1940s was a significant period in American history, marked by the Great Depression and the onset of World War II. Yet, amidst the challenges, the decorative arts continued to flourish, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage. Whitaker's "Infant's Shirt" is a testament to this period's functional and artistic value, as it highlights the importance of clothing as an expression of identity and aesthetic sensibility. The use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard adds to the piece's charm, as the medium allows for a delicate and precise rendering of the shirt's texture and lace details. The artwork is a period item that transports us back in time, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of a baby's shirt from the 1930s. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Gallery's extensive collection showcases the diverse range of American art and design, from the colonial period to the present day. "Infant's Shirt" is a valuable addition to this collection, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
