Cap
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating graphite drawing on paperboard by American artist Rosalia Lane, created in the 1930s. This evocative artwork showcases a woman wearing a traditional American cap, a fashionable and symbolic headpiece from the era. The cap, adorned with a red bow, sits atop a simple yet elegant dress, adding a pop of color to the monochromatic drawing. The woman's expression is serene, her posture confident, as she gazes off into the distance. The setting is not explicitly stated, but the simple, rustic background suggests a rural or small-town location, further emphasizing the Americana theme. This artwork is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, folk arts, and fine arts, which was initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. The collection, now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., aims to document and preserve American visual culture from the colonial period through the mid-twentieth century. Rosalia Lane's "Cap" is a testament to the rich heritage and diversity of American art and fashion during the 1930s. The cap itself, a common yet significant item of clothing from the period, serves as a reminder of the cultural traditions and values that shaped American identity during this time. The artwork invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and depth of American history.
