EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil paint on paper artwork created by American artist J. Howard Iams in the year 1936. This evocative piece, now a cherished artifact, transports us back in time to the heart of the 1930s in America. The scene depicts a simple yet profound image of a bread basket, its woven surface textured and warm, resting on a worn wooden table. Iams masterfully employs a muted color palette, imbuing the artwork with a sense of nostalgia and quiet intimacy. The bread basket, the very essence of American domesticity, is depicted with such care and detail that one can almost smell the freshly baked bread it once held. This artwork, now part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century. Iams' "Bread Basket" is not just an illustration or a drawing; it is a functional object brought to life through the artist's skilled brushstrokes. The artwork invites us to reflect on the significance of the humble bread basket in our collective history and the simple pleasures of daily life. The "Bread Basket" by J. Howard Iams is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, the 1930s, or the history of everyday objects. This artwork is a reminder that even the most ordinary objects can hold deep meaning and serve as a window into the past. Whether you're an art enthusiast, historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of everyday life, the "Bread Basket" is sure to leave a lasting impression.
