EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor and graphite drawing by E. J. Gilsleider, titled "Knit Hose, 1935/1942," showcases the elegance and intricacy of knitted apparel during the 1930s and 1940s in America. The image features a pair of knit hose or tights, meticulously rendered with a rich palette of colors and patterns. The artist's deft use of graphite lines adds texture and depth to the design, while the watercolor washes bring a sense of softness and fluidity to the piece. The Knit Hose reflects the functional yet decorative nature of clothing during this period. The 1930s and 1940s were marked by a shift towards more practical and comfortable clothing, as people sought to adapt to changing social and economic conditions. At the same time, there was a growing appreciation for the aesthetic value of clothing, as evidenced by the intricate patterns and designs that graced everyday garments. This artwork is a testament to the enduring appeal of knitwear, which continues to be a popular choice for both fashion and comfort. The Knit Hose also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of American design, and the important role that artists like E. J. Gilsleider played in shaping the aesthetic landscape of the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is home to this precious piece of American art, which is part of the Index of American Design. The Index is a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, spanning from the Colonial period to the present day. This drawing by E. J. Gilsleider is a valuable addition to the Index, and a testament to the enduring allure of American design.
