EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paperboard artwork titled "Visiting Dress, 1935/1942" by Eleanor Ruelos showcases a vibrant and intricately designed dress from the 1930s and 1940s. The dress, adorned with lace trim, ruffles, and bows, is depicted against a backdrop of ships and water transport, suggesting a connection to travel and visiting. The rich purple hue of the dress adds an air of elegance and sophistication, making it a standout piece from the decade. Eleanor Ruelos, a talented American artist, masterfully captured the essence of the period with her use of color and decorative details. The dress features a mantua silhouette, a style popular during the 1930s and 1940s, characterized by a full skirt and fitted bodice. The bustle at the back adds an element of drama and movement to the design. The Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. includes this artwork as part of their extensive collection of American decorative arts and design. The piece serves as a reminder of the importance of fashion in American history and culture, showcasing the intricacy and beauty of clothing from the past. The "Visiting Dress, 1935/1942" is a testament to the artistry and creativity of Eleanor Ruelos, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural influences of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States.
