Sylvia Dezon

Sylvia Dezon was an artist professionally active during a narrow but historically significant period, with documented contributions spanning 1935 to 1936. Her known output is associated with the project designated as the "15 index of american designs," strongly suggesting her involvement in documenting historical decorative arts and fashion, a major cultural initiative during the mid-1930s.

The works attributed to Dezon consist of visual records focused primarily on apparel and accessories. Five such renderings are represented in museum collections, confirming her specialization in detailed design documentation. The documented subjects include multiple studies of a Corset, along with detailed visual inventories of an Evening Dress, a Scarf, and a Comb. These works offer highly accurate representations of American design items from various periods.

The authoritative placement of her design renderings within the permanent holdings of the National Gallery of Art establishes the historical importance of her contributions to the index project. Today, studies such as these by Sylvia Dezon prints are essential resources for historians. Due to their status as historical documentation, many of these museum-quality records are now available in the public domain, providing researchers and enthusiasts access to high-quality prints and downloadable artwork.
