Cap
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intricately designed art piece created by American artist Jessie M. Benge in the 1930s. This graphite and watercolor drawing on paper showcases a woman adorned in a traditional Cap, a type of headgear or headdress, popular during the 20th century in the United States. The Cap is a striking combination of embroidered ribbons, needles, and threads, forming an intricate pattern that covers the entirety of the woman's head and cascades down her back. The Cap is not only a fashion statement but also a cultural artifact that represents the rich heritage of American clothing design during the 1930s. The woman in the drawing wears a simple, yet elegant, dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, typical of the era's fashion trends. Her Cap is adorned with colorful ribbons, each one meticulously sewn in place, adding to the overall beauty and complexity of the piece. The Cap is a period item that has been preserved and is now part of the Index of American Design, a collection held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This artwork is a testament to the creativity and artistry of Jessie M. Benge and the cultural significance of traditional American clothing during the 1930s. The Cap is a unique and valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the beauty and history of American art and fashion. Jessie M. Benge's "Cap" is a visual representation of the vibrant and diverse cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s.
