Woman's Bonnet 1935 - 1942

Marie Famularo made "Woman's Bonnet" with delicate strokes of brown. It’s not just a bonnet; it’s like she’s trying to catch the very essence of an object with all its folds and textures. You can tell that she was trying to represent the bonnet. I get the sense it's not an exact rendering but a feeling of how the bonnet sits on one's head, the material feels in your fingers, and the world it invokes. It's like she wanted to trap the memory of someone wearing it. Famularo is in conversation with all other image-makers and painters across time. Every brushstroke, every color choice, and every tiny detail is a love letter to the world. It’s like she’s saying, "I see you, bonnet, and I celebrate you!”
