EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor and graphite on paper rendering by Adolph Opstad titled "Cookie Cutter," dates back to the 1940s, showcasing a charming and functional piece of American decorative arts from the era. The image presents a close-up view of the cookie cutter, with its intricate details and elegant curves brought to life through Opstad's skillful brushstrokes. The cookie cutter, shaped like a miniature house, boasts a red handle and intricate details on its facade, including shuttered windows, a chimney, and a door. The Cookie Cutter, created by Opstad in the 1930s or 1940s, is a testament to the artist's ability to transform everyday objects into works of art. This piece, with its vibrant colors and rich textures, would have been a cherished addition to any kitchen during the 20th century. The image invites us to imagine the warm, inviting atmosphere of a traditional American kitchen, where this cookie cutter would have been used to create delightful, shaped treats for family and friends. The Cookie Cutter is an excellent example of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s to document and record American-made decorative arts and folk art. This piece, now part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions that have shaped American history.
