Chest Design, 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard creation by the talented American artist, Etna Wiswall. This stunning work of art dates back to the 1930s and 1940s, a period marked by significant cultural and artistic developments in the United States. The centerpiece of this composition is a beautifully decorated chest, reminiscent of the wooden furniture common in rural American homes during that era. The chest is adorned with a vibrant floral design, featuring a variety of pink flowers, roses, and multicolored birds. The intricate detailing and use of color make this piece a standout in the decorative arts of the time. The artist's skillful use of watercolor gouache and graphite is evident in the rich textures and shading of the flowers and birds, which seem to pop out from the surface of the chest. The muted background adds depth and contrast to the colorful foreground, creating a sense of harmony and balance. This artwork is a testament to the artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when American artists were exploring new forms of expression and pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. Etna Wiswall's "Chest Design, 1935/1942" is a prime example of the colorful and decorative arts that emerged during this period. Today, this work of art is part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Whether viewed in person or in reproduction, "Chest Design, 1935/1942" is a beautiful and enduring reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States.
