EDITORS COMMENTS
Ardella Watkins' Match Box, created around 1941, is a captivating work of art that showcases the simple beauty and functional design of everyday objects. This exquisite watercolor and graphite drawing on paperboard depicts a match box, a common household item used to store and transport matches. The match box is rendered in a warm, light brown hue, with intricate details that bring out the textured wood grain and the delicate folds of the container. The Match Box is a testament to the artistic potential of ordinary objects, and a reflection of the cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The period is marked by the Great Depression and World War II, which had a profound impact on American society and art. Watkins' work captures the spirit of the times, with its focus on functional design and the use of natural materials. The Match Box is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, crafts, and graphic arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Ardella Watkins' Match Box is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the everyday life and artistic sensibilities of the past. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that surrounds us and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
