EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a unique artifact from the mid-20th century - a comb created by the talented artist Cora Parker in 1940s America. The artwork, displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , offers us an intriguing insight into the grooming practices and design aesthetics of that era. In this exquisite piece, Parker skillfully combines watercolor graphite and gouache on paper to bring out the intricate details of this everyday object. The comb's rich brown color adds warmth and depth to its overall appearance, while its carefully crafted design reflects both functionality and artistic flair. As we admire this heritage art piece, we are transported back in time to an era when hair care was not only about practicality but also a reflection of personal style and cultural identity. This comb symbolizes more than just a tool for grooming; it represents a country's evolving fashion trends and societal norms during the forties. The index of American design proudly includes this remarkable creation as part of its collection, preserving our nation's diverse artistic heritage for future generations to appreciate. Through Cora Parker's masterful interpretation, we are reminded that even seemingly mundane objects can hold immense historical value and serve as windows into our past. Let us cherish this extraordinary artwork as it reminds us of America's creative spirit and pays homage to those who have contributed their talents towards shaping our cultural landscape.
