Reticule, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist John Cooke, showcasing his exceptional skill in watercolor, goauche, pen and ink, and graphite on paperboard. This exquisite piece, created in the 1930s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The intricately detailed design features a reticule, an elegant and functional bag popular in the 1930s and 1940s. The bag is depicted in a vibrant maroon color, adorned with a stunning floral pattern. The flowers, rendered in rich hues, appear to bloom in a lush, verdant landscape, their petals delicately traced in pen and ink. The satin and silk textures of the bag are masterfully captured through Cooke's use of watercolor and goauche. This artwork is a prime example of the decorative arts movement of the period, which emphasized the importance of beauty and craftsmanship in everyday objects. The reticule, with its intricate floral design, is not only a functional item but also a work of art in its own right. The "Reticule, 1937" is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts compiled by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the 1930s and 1940s. This important piece is now housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. John Cooke's "Reticule, 1937" is a stunning representation of American art and design during the 1930s and 1940s, and a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in even the most functional of objects. Its intricate details, vibrant colors, and rich textures make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art and design.
