Schiaparelli Says Black 1939

"Schiaparelli Says Black" is a 1939 lithograph by Barbara Crawford (1914-2003) that uses strong lines and dramatic shadows to depict a woman in a black dress standing in front of a storefront. The woman's pose is elegant and her dress is rendered with fine detail, while the background features bold lettering that creates a sense of urban energy. The lithograph's stark contrast between light and dark highlights the interplay of fashion, commercialism, and the human figure in a bustling city setting.
