Mitt, c. 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of American heritage art, created by the talented Syrena Swanson during the vibrant era of the 1930s and 1940s. This exquisite watercolor and graphite print showcases an intricately embroidered pair of mittens, reflecting both functional design and artistic flair. The delicate floral motifs adorning these mittens are a testament to Swanson's remarkable needlework skills. The attention to detail in every stitch brings life to this decorative accessory, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon Mitt, we are transported back in time to witness the fashion trends that defined mid-20th century America. These mittens were not only practical items but also fashionable accessories that added elegance to any lady's ensemble. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork serves as an index of American design from a specific period. It reminds us of the creativity and craftsmanship prevalent during those years when embroidery was considered an essential part of women's sewing repertoire. Swanson's work captures not just an object but also glimpses into our country's history and cultural identity. Through her skillful use of color and composition, she immortalizes this piece as more than just fabric; it becomes a symbol representing the spirit and resilience embodied by American women throughout generations. "Mitt, c. 1938" stands as a testament to Swanson's artistic prowess while serving as a window into America’s rich heritage
