Suspenders, c. 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ella Josephine Sterling captures the essence of American fashion in the 1930s. This exquisite watercolor and graphite print showcases a functional yet decorative item from that era - suspenders. The artist's attention to detail is evident in her delicate embroidery work, featuring a vibrant floral design that adds a touch of elegance to this everyday accessory. Sterling's artwork offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends and craftsmanship of the time. Suspenders were not only practical for holding up trousers but also served as an expression of personal style. With their multi-colored threads and intricate needlework, these suspenders became more than just undergarments; they became pieces of wearable art. As we admire this period item, we are transported back to an era when clothing was meticulously crafted with care and creativity. The combination of color and texture brings life to this otherwise utilitarian object, highlighting its significance within women's wear during the 1930s. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "Suspenders" stands as a testament to Ella Josephine Sterling's talent as both an artist and designer. Through her mastery of cross-stitching techniques, she transforms simple underwear into something truly remarkable – blurring the line between functionality and beauty. This piece from Sterling's collection in the Index of American Design serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be elevated through artistic vision and skillful execution.
