Man's Shoe, c. 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist Jessie M. Benge, showcasing intricate detail and a keen eye for design. This watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink drawing on paper transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The subject of the artwork is a classic men's carriage boot, a popular footwear choice during this era. The boot is depicted in stunning detail, with every lace-up stitch, crease, and texture rendered with precision and care. The use of color and contrast, particularly in the laces and the worn leather, adds depth and dimension to the piece. Benge's artistic talent is on full display in this work, which is part of the Index of American Design held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The artwork provides a glimpse into the fashion and design trends of the time, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of American apparel and clothing. The Man's Shoe, c. 1936, is a testament to Benge's skill as a decorative artist and her ability to capture the essence of a period item with grace and elegance. The artwork invites us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a simple yet iconic piece of footwear, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of preserving the history of American fashion and design. Whether admired in person at the National Gallery of Art or as a print, this artwork continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate detail and timeless appeal.
