EDITORS COMMENTS
This reticule, created by Ann Gene Buckley in the mid-1930s, showcases the intricate beauty and artistry of American needlework during the 1930s and 1940s. The reticule, a small handbag or purse, is a testament to Buckley's exceptional design skills and her ability to bring vibrant colors and whimsical motifs to life. Painted in watercolor gouache and graphite on paper, this reticule design features a heart motif at its center, surrounded by a cascade of multicolored, interconnected hearts. The bag's exterior is adorned with a series of decorative embroidery patterns, adding an extra layer of texture and detail. Buckley's use of bold colors and playful motifs reflects the changing fashion trends of the time, as well as the growing popularity of art and design in everyday life. This reticule would have been a cherished accessory for a lady in the 1930s or 1940s, adding a touch of elegance and charm to her outfit. Today, this beautiful reticule is an important piece of American decorative arts history, preserved in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. As part of the Index of American Design, it serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the role of artists like Ann Gene Buckley in shaping American fashion and design during the 20th century.
