EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Charles Goodwin's Wax Face Cotton Doll, created between 1935 and 1942. The doll, a true testament to American artistry in the mid-20th century, is a harmonious blend of creativity and attention to detail. The doll's face, meticulously crafted from wax, exudes an uncanny lifelike quality that draws viewers into its enchanting presence. Its delicate features are beautifully enhanced by the artist's use of watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard, creating a stunning sepia-toned effect. Dressed in period costume with a charming bonnet adorning her head, this cotton doll embodies the fashion trends of the era. The intricate design and patterned clothing reflect both the style and spirit of 1930s and 1940s America. Displayed within the hallowed halls of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this remarkable piece stands as a testament to Goodwin's artistic genius. It serves as an important index for understanding American heritage art during this transformative period in history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exceptional creation but also gain insight into how society perceived beauty through dolls like these. Charles Goodwin has left his mark on American art with this extraordinary waxwork masterpiece.
