Man's hat c. 1920s

This anonymous work, "Man's Hat," is a fascinating piece of folk art from the 1920s. The hat itself, made of red felt and black fabric, is adorned with a cluster of vibrant peacock feathers, suggesting a celebration of both elegance and the natural world. The hat's embellishment with a long, flowing ribbon of multiple colors adds a touch of whimsy, reflecting the creator's unique artistry and attention to detail. The work is now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where it continues to intrigue and inspire viewers.
