I Saw the Figure 5 by Charles Demuth, Luxurious Square Scarf/Wrap/Boho Shawl, Made to Order, Handmade and Cruelty-Free

Make a statement with this luxurious scarf featuring a painting by Charles Demuth. Demuth completed eight abstract portraits between 1924 and 1929 as tributes to modern American artists, writers, and performers. Though not a physical likeness, Demuth created this portrait of his friend, the poet, and physician William Carlos Williams, using imagery from Williams’s poem The Great Figure, which evokes the sights and sounds of a fire engine speeding down the street. The intersecting lines repeated "5," round forms of the numbers, lights, street lamps, and blaring sirens of the red fire engine infuse the painting with vibrant, urban energy. Demuth derived the title from the poem, which reads:Among the rainand lightsI saw the figure 5in goldon a redfiretruckmovingtenseunheededto gong clangssiren howlsand wheels rumblingthrough the dark cityCharles Henry Buckius Demuth was an American painter who specialized in watercolors and turned to oils late in his career, developing a style of painting
