Manta or Poncho, c. 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Syrena Swanson, an American creator from the mid-20th century. This exquisite piece of heritage art takes us back to the vibrant and stylish era of the 1930s and 1940s in America. The photograph captures a stunning garment, skillfully crafted with intricate needlework and embroidery. The manta or poncho is adorned with colorful threads on a rich brown velvet fabric, creating a striking contrast that immediately draws attention. Its functional design suggests it was not only meant for aesthetic purposes but also served as clothing during that period. Swanson's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece - from the carefully lined interior to the fine watercolor graphite and pen-and-ink technique used to bring out its beauty on paper. The green color accents add depth and charm to this already remarkable creation. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this item stands as a testament to Swanson's talent as well as her contribution to American decorative arts. It serves as an index of American design during that time, reflecting both cultural heritage and fashion trends prevalent in the United States. This print invites viewers into a world where craftsmanship meets artistry, showcasing Swanson's ability to transform simple fabrics into extraordinary vestments through her exceptional sewing skills and creative vision.
