The Blue Mandarin Coat (The Blue Kimono)

Artist: Joseph Rodefer DeCamp (American, 1858–1923)

Date: 1922

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA, United States

Description

Among the most sought-after portraitists in New England, Joseph DeCamp concentrated on formal portraits of men and decorative images of women set in tasteful interiors. The Blue Mandarin Coat is a decorative piece, yet the model possesses a regal bearing typical of DeCamp’s male subjects. “Reddy” Pearson, an Irishwoman who served as DeCamp’s model and secretary in his final years, is shown draped in a stunning Japanese kimono - a bold and exotic choice of costume that, along with her assertive pose, contradicted contemporary models of femininity.
