Or Andrew Jackson in a Hollywood cowboy costume, or Emily Dickinson cocooned in a white down duvet? Artist Jac Lahav cleverly uses clothing and textiles to reveal the personality and importance of some of the most enduring American historical figures. Lynne (Zacek) Bassett, Costume & Textile Historian relates these American icons to the fashion of their day, revealing what was understood in their appearance then and how we can understand them through Lahav’s portrayals now.
