EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and graphite on paperboard creation by Virginia Berge, titled "Christening Dress, c. 1939," transports us back in time to a simpler era. The intricately detailed design showcases a beautiful christening gown, reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s in America. The dress, adorned with delicate floral motifs and a subtle sheen, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The dress, rendered in white, symbolizes the purity and innocence of the baby being christened. The use of color and shade in this work of art adds depth and dimension, making the dress appear almost lifelike. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the fabric folds and drapes, creating a sense of movement and flow. The christening gown is a significant item in the history of children's wear, as it is often passed down through generations as a cherished family heirloom. This piece by Virginia Berge is not only a beautiful work of art but also a cultural artifact, reflecting the religious and heritage values of the time. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, which is part of the Index of American Design. The gallery's commitment to preserving and showcasing American art and design is evident in its acquisition of this stunning work. This christening dress, created in the late 1930s, is a reminder of a bygone era, a time of elegance and tradition. It is a visual representation of the decorative arts and fashion of the period, and a tribute to the artistic talent of Virginia Berge.
