EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Ballot Box," is a hand-carved masterpiece created by American artist Robert T. Gills in the 1930s or 1940s. The intricately detailed ballot box, with its bold brown hue and decorative carvings, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. The box's handles, expertly crafted from wood, add to its functional beauty and historical significance. The Ballot Box holds a special place in the annals of American history, symbolizing the democratic process and the importance of individual votes. The image is a poignant reminder of the power and responsibility that comes with casting a ballot. Robert T. Gills, a talented artist of the 20th century, utilized watercolor pen and ink, gouache, and graphite on paperboard to create this stunning work. The combination of these mediums allowed him to capture the intricate details of the wood grain and the delicate lines of the carvings. The Ballot Box is a period item that transports us back in time to a different era, evoking memories of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. It is now part of the Index of American Design, a renowned collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This artwork is not only a decorative piece but also a significant historical artifact, reflecting the political climate and the values of the time. It is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, decorative arts, or the history of voting in the United States.
