Velvet Lounge, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist Florence Truelson. This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States. The artwork is a watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite drawing on paperboard, meticulously rendered with intricate detail. The central focus of the composition is a plush velvet lounge chair, upholstered in a deep, luxurious blue fabric. The chair's wooden frame is hand-carved with elegant geometric patterns, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in wood carving. The settee's design is both functional and decorative, a perfect blend of form and beauty. The lounge chair is situated in a serene, dimly lit room, with the warm glow of a single lamp casting a soft light on the velvet seat. The room's walls are adorned with textiles in complementary colors, adding to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The wooden floorboards, with their worn and aged appearance, add to the sense of history and nostalgia. This artwork is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project, which aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and crafts. Florence Truelson's "Velvet Lounge, 1937" is a valuable representation of the artistic and cultural landscape of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The piece is a stunning example of the handicraft movement, which emphasized the importance of creating functional objects with artistic merit. In this artwork, Truelson invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a simple piece of furniture, transporting us to a bygone era. The velvet lounge chair, with its hand-carved wooden frame and plush upholstery, beckons us to sit and rest, inviting us to bask in the warmth and comfort of a simpler time.
