EDITORS COMMENTS
Max Unger's captivating work of art, titled "Scale," created in 1939, is a stunning example of American art from the 1930s and 1940s. This watercolor and graphite on paperboard piece, housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Unger's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of functional objects with an artistic touch. The Scale, with its intricate hooks and meticulously rendered details, invites viewers to explore the beauty and history hidden within a seemingly mundane item. The colorful and decorative design, reminiscent of the Art Deco period, adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to the piece. Unger's masterful use of perspective and positioning of the scales creates a sense of depth and balance, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricately detailed hooks and the delicate watercolor shading. The scales, hanging on the wall, are not only an object of functional use but also an artistic statement, a testament to the importance of design and craftsmanship in American heritage. As part of the Index of American Design, this period item is a valuable addition to the National Gallery of Art's collection, showcasing the rich artistic history of the United States. Unger's "Scale" is a reminder of the beauty and significance that can be found in the everyday objects that surround us, and a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the essence of a moment in time.
