Avondschoen met riempjes van zilver leer, extreem scherpe neus en hoog uitgesneden voorblad c. 1928

These evening shoes with silver leather straps, an extremely sharp nose, and a high-cut vamp were made by Manfield. Aren't they amazing? The silver is so interesting. It's not just silver; it's got this texture, almost like the surface of water or crumpled paper. There's a thinness to it, a fragility that makes me think about fleeting moments and the way light can transform ordinary objects. Look at the way the light catches on the sharp nose of the shoe, it’s like a gesture, a quick flick of the wrist. It reminds me of Cy Twombly, with that sense of energy and movement captured in a single stroke. It's like the shoe is about to take off, ready to dance the night away. Art is such a conversation, isn't it? These shoes speak of history, glamour, and the simple joy of making something beautiful.
