Baret met een bol van leverkleurig zijden fluweel en een rand in dezelfde kleur vilt after 1942

Maud and Nano made this hat from liver-colored silk velvet with a matching felt trim. It's the kind of hat that makes you want to reach out and touch it, isn’t it? I can imagine the artists, Maud and Nano, carefully selecting these tactile materials, feeling the weight and texture of the velvet and felt in their hands. The way the velvet drapes and folds gives the hat a sense of movement, like a soft wave frozen in time. The color, that subtle liver hue, has a quiet, understated elegance, like a Rothko painting. The hat reminds me of Man Ray’s photographs, with its surreal and dreamlike quality. It's as if Maud and Nano are in conversation with the avant-garde artists of the early 20th century, exploring the boundaries of form, material, and perception. It makes me wonder what other unexpected creations are waiting to emerge from their studio.
