EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor and graphite drawing on paperboard by American artist Ralph Atkinson captures the essence of 1930s fashion with his intricately detailed depiction of a green ladies' purse from the late 1930s or early 1940s. The purse, adorned with a delicate floral pattern and a subtle metallic sheen, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. The muted green color palette adds to the vintage charm, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Ralph Atkinson's "Purse, c. 1938" is a prime example of the decorative arts movement of the 20th century, showcasing the attention to detail and intricacy that characterized the period. The drawing is a period item, reflecting the fashion trends and aesthetic sensibilities of the time. It is a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or art gallery specializing in American art and the arts and crafts movement. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is home to numerous works by Ralph Atkinson, including this exquisite drawing. His work is also featured in the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts and fine arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. This purse drawing is a testament to the enduring appeal of the 1930s and 1940s, a time of innovation and creativity in American art and fashion.
