Design for Cosmetics Building at the New York World’s Fair 1939–40 for Perfumery and Cosmetics Exhibits, Inc. Unfinished exterior perspective features, at left, a double-height, terra-cotta colored wall perforated by round archways and extending backward. At center, it meets perpendicular chartreuse wall onto which it casts a triangular shadow. Rectangular turquoise pavements cover ground, merging into one solid field of color beyond terra cotta wall at left before meeting a white plane; further in the distance, perspective becomes confused. In the background, a pink-white oblong tower rises above courtyard against partially finished sky in range of blue tones. At center left, a single tree surrounded by fall leaves rises from a wedge of green lawn. At center of partially enclosed area, a collaged magazine image of a perfume bottle casts a shadow onto ground. The perfume featured is Schiaparelli’s “Shocking” (first introduced in 1936), the package for which consisted of a dressmaker’s dummy wearing a branded ribbon surrounded by a bushel of glass flowers and leaves encased by a lace-rimmed glass dome set on a gold and pink velvet platform.
