The Milliners Shop, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
by August Macke is a captivating snapshot of fashion and consumerism in early 20th century Germany. The painting showcases a bustling hat shop, filled with vibrant colors and stylish hats on display. In the foreground, a fashionable woman stands with her parasol, adding an air of elegance to the scene. The artist's use of German Expressionist style is evident in the bold brushstrokes and vivid palette, capturing the energy and excitement of window shopping for fashionable accessories. The composition draws our attention to the meticulously arranged hats on stands and in vitrines, inviting us to imagine ourselves as customers exploring this millinery wonderland. Macke skillfully incorporates elements of everyday life into his work by including a glimpse of Thun's Old Town in Switzerland through the shop window. This juxtaposition adds depth to the painting, reminding us that fashion transcends borders and connects people across different cultures. "The Milliners Shop" not only celebrates millinery as an art form but also serves as a time capsule from an era when hat shops were at their peak popularity. It invites viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind each hat creation and the joy that comes from indulging in personal style choices. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to bring home a piece of history while admiring Macke's mastery as one of Germany's renowned expressionist painters.
