EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases a stunning purse from the year 1936, created by the talented Mabel Ritter. The purse is an exquisite example of American folk art, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of that era. Its intricate design features delicate embroidery in a floral pattern, showcasing Ritter's exceptional needlework skills. The multi-colored threads used in this piece add depth and vibrancy to the overall composition. The floral motif beautifully adorns every inch of the purse, creating a captivating scene that transports us back to 1930s America. Ritter's attention to detail is evident in every stitch and fringe on this accessory. The combination of watercolor gouache and graphite on paper gives it a unique texture, adding another layer of visual interest. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington as part of their Index of American Design collection, this artifact represents not only Ritter's talent but also serves as a testament to America's rich heritage in arts and crafts. As we admire this remarkable creation, we are reminded of how fashion can be both functional and decorative. This purse encapsulates an era when clothing accessories were meticulously crafted with love and care – each piece telling its own story through its design. Mabel Ritter's masterpiece continues to inspire contemporary artists today while preserving our connection with history through her extraordinary textile work.
