"More Attractive" Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases a captivating piece of early 20th-century illustration: "More Attractive," originally featured as an interior illustration in Life magazine on February 13, 1902. The artwork, created by the renowned American illustrator Harrison Fisher, centers around a humorous and insightful glimpse into early 1900s social dynamics.
Visual Storytelling
The design features Fisher's characteristic style, evident in the depiction of a domestic scene with a focus on dialogue and subtly communicated social commentary. The image likely presents an interaction, as hinted by the accompanying caption: "Was that Mr. Gaylor?” “Yes, the horrid thing! He told me that often in making calls, when he saw the maid who came to the door, he would rather sit in the kitchen." This witty exchange paints a portrait of early 20th-century social manners and perhaps the burgeoning complexities of romantic comedy of the time.
Artist's Signature Style
The artwork, originally created using gouache, pencil, and wash on board, is representative of Fisher's signature style. Fisher's work frequently featured elegant depictions of women and society scenes. "More Attractive" exemplifies this, offering a visual narrative that merges artistic beauty with a subtle critique of societal norms. It also speaks to the artist's focus on character expression and emotional depth, critical elements of magazine illustrations in that era.
A Slice of History
This design offers more than just a visually appealing illustration; it serves as a window into the artistic and social landscape of 1902 America. The carefully composed scene, the artist's distinctive style, and the accompanying caption come together to create a design that is both historically significant and visually compelling.
