EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor and graphite on paperboard artwork by Douglas Cox, titled "Parasol," dates back to the 1930s and offers a captivating glimpse into American fashion and design of the era. The image depicts a parasol, a once-popular accessory for protecting oneself from the sun, with a checkered brown and beige color scheme that reflects the functional yet decorative nature of the object. The parasol's intricate design, with its curved handle and delicate parasol canopy, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, making it a desirable item for women during the 1930s and 1940s. The artwork, now part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases the attention to detail and artistic skill of Douglas Cox. The use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard adds texture and depth to the image, bringing the parasol to life and transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The parasol's placement against a plain background allows it to take center stage, highlighting its unique features and timeless appeal. The 20th century was a period of significant change in American culture, and this artwork serves as a testament to the country's rich heritage in the decorative arts. The parasol, with its functional yet beautiful design, represents a time when fashion and art were intertwined, and everyday objects were celebrated for their aesthetic value. This artwork by Douglas Cox is not only a valuable addition to any art collection but also a reminder of the importance of preserving the history and culture of American design.
