EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating graphite drawing on paper by American artist Edith Magnette, dates back to the 1930s and offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and art scenes of the era. This evocative work of art, created in 1936, showcases a model wearing a simple yet elegant dress, which has come to be known as "Wrap." The dress, with its intriguing front and back design, is a testament to the innovative and creative spirit of the time. The dress, depicted in both its front and back views, is a beautiful example of the decorative arts and design that flourished during the 1930s. The monochromatic graphite drawing brings the dress to life, capturing its subtle textures and intricate details. The model's pose adds to the allure of the artwork, as she gracefully holds the fabric of the dress in her hands, inviting the viewer to explore its every detail. Edith Magnette's "Wrap" is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts and crafts that was compiled by the Federal Art Project during the 1930s. This artwork, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a valuable heritage artifact that offers insights into the cultural and artistic landscape of the United States during the 20th century. The position of the model and the way the dress is depicted in the drawing, with its front and back views presented side by side, invites the viewer to appreciate the dress as both an object of fashion and an artistic creation. The simplicity and timelessness of the design, combined with the skillful execution of the graphite drawing, make "Wrap" a captivating and enduring work of art that continues to inspire and delight.
