EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant and intricately detailed graphite drawing on paperboard, titled "Lady's Shoe Buckle" by Kalamian Walton, dates back to the 1930s and provides a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the 20th century. The shoe buckle, a small yet significant accessory, is depicted in stunning detail, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. The shoe buckle, designed for carriage boots, is adorned with an intricate silver design, featuring floral motifs and geometric patterns. The silverware is expertly etched, giving the buckle a lustrous and ornate appearance. The buckle's color palette is primarily monochromatic, with the graphite drawing enhancing the intricacies of the silver design, making it a true work of art in its own right. The buckle is a period item from the 1930s and 1940s, a time when fashion was characterized by glamour and sophistication. The buckle would have been an essential accessory for a lady's outfit, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to her attire. Kalamian Walton, the creator of this beautiful illustration, masterfully captures the essence of the shoe buckle, paying homage to the rich heritage of American decorative arts. Walton's illustration is a testament to the importance of intricate detail and design in fashion and art, making it a must-see piece for anyone interested in the history of American art, fashion, and culture. This illustration is part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., holds this piece in its collection, making it accessible to the public and a valuable addition to the gallery's extensive collection of American art.
