EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Magnus S. Fossum's "Checker-board Table-tilt Top" from 1936. The table, a true testament to American artistry in the 20th century, is a stunning blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The checkerboard pattern adorning its surface immediately draws the eye, evoking memories of leisurely afternoons spent playing board games with loved ones. Its foldable design adds an element of practicality, allowing for easy storage and transportation. Fossum's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece. The watercolor colored pencil graphite and heightening on paper technique used to create this artwork brings out the richness and depth of color, enhancing its visual impact. The use of wood as the primary material further accentuates its rustic charm while adding durability. As we delve into America's cultural heritage through this artifact, we are transported back to a simpler time when board games were cherished pastimes that brought people together. This table represents not only a functional piece but also serves as a decorative centerpiece that adds character to any space it graces. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this masterpiece by Magnus S. Fossum stands as a symbol of artistic excellence within our nation's history. It reminds us how art can transcend mere utility and become an expression of creativity deeply rooted in our culture.
