EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of art from the late 1930s, titled "Economy Handkerchief". Created by the talented Katherine Hastings, this handkerchief is a true testament to American decorative arts during that era. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship put into this delicate fabric. The cream-colored background sets the stage for a stunning display of embroidery and watercolor. Each stitch tells a story, showcasing the artist's skillful use of color and texture. The pencil drawing adds depth and dimension to the design, making it come alive on paperboard. As we gaze at this remarkable creation, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of history. This handkerchief represents more than just an accessory; it symbolizes resilience and resourcefulness during challenging times such as the Great Depression. Preserved at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork stands as a proud reminder of America's rich artistic heritage. It serves as an index of American design, capturing both its beauty and functionality. Katherine Hastings' Economy Handkerchief is not merely an object but rather a work of art that reflects the creativity and ingenuity prevalent in 20th-century America. Its presence evokes nostalgia while reminding us of our nation's enduring spirit through artistry.
