Reticule, 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour, graphite, and silver paint on paper artwork by the American artist Edith Towner. This exquisite piece, created in the mid-20th century during the 1930s and 1940s, showcases Towner's exceptional talent in the decorative arts. The artwork depicts a charming reticule, an accessory that was popular during the 19th and early 20th centuries, often used as a small handbag. The reticule in this artwork is rendered in stunning detail, with its green colour bringing a sense of freshness and vitality to the piece. The intricate design of the bag is accentuated by the contrasting silver paint, adding an elegant touch to the artwork. Towner's use of watercolour and graphite creates a delicate and textured effect, capturing the essence of the reticule's fabric and stitching. The artwork also features a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to a bygone era of fashion and design. This piece is a significant addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on American art, fashion, or the decorative arts. It is also an important contribution to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Smithsonian Institution to document American decorative arts and crafts from the colonial period to the 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this artwork in its collection, showcasing Towner's exceptional skill and creativity. The Reticule, 1935/1942, is a testament to Towner's ability to capture the beauty and elegance of a simple accessory, making it a must-see for anyone interested in American art and design history.
