essories naturally evolved to fulfill necessities, while others were introduced to represent social status and wealth. Early accessories — when humans were dancing around a fire dressed in leaves and animal skin — were made of bones, seeds, feathers, shells, and stones. Crowns, amulets, or badges often depicted the status of the individual in the tribe or town.

Necessity carved the other sets of accessories, such as bags and footwear. Glasses, shades, and watches (often replaced with Fitbit these days) were introduced to the list with newer inventions.

In the last few centuries, it has been observed that wars and economic depressions have impacted fashion more than any major brand or designer. For instance, in the Victorian era, gloves, fans, and extravagant hats were integral to women’s wear, while after the Great Depression, the style became subtle and minimalist with long socks and simple hats.

Accessories are capable of changing the mood of a get-up. Social media is filled with tutorials to style the same dress for different occasions by just changing the accompanying accessories — just changing how a scarf is worn or adding a belt can change the whole vibe of the look.

Elizabeth Catlett

Yesterday my sibbo and I trekked to the Columbia Art Museum and got to see their exhibit, The Art of Elizabeth Catlett: From the Collection of Samella Lewis. I was unfamiliar with this artist but her work seemed to be influential in the main character's design in recent animated media I've seen, the episode of Love, Death, and Robots titled "Zima Blue."

I'm really glad we went. Seeing artwork up close and talking about the physical methods by which it was created was a balm that soothed the agitation I've been feeling about the recent "discourse" surrounding art creation these days. There is no doubt these works have LIFE in them, behind them, creating them.

About the Artist (Via ColumbiaMuseum.org)

"In an artistic career spanning seven decades, Elizabeth Catlett (1915 – 2012) granted dignity to the underrepresented.  Her renderings of laborers, women, and African Americans referenced social issues pertinent in both the United States as well as her adopted home of Mexico.  Hers was an art of, and addressed to, black and Mexican working classes. © Photo: Fern Logan

These Two Generations, Elizabeth Catlett, 1979 Lithograph

This was my personal favorite, though many pieces in the exhibit were extremely worthy. I couldn't get over the delicate highlights on the little boy's face that so crisply defined his features against the dark background.
