Butter Box, c. 1953
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Harry Grossen, an American creator from the mid-20th century. This exquisite piece belongs to the realm of decorative arts and exemplifies the charm of folk art prevalent during that era. The photograph captures a close-up view of a butter box, meticulously designed with intricate patterns and attention to detail. The black color serves as a striking backdrop for the golden embellishments adorning its surface, adding an element of elegance and sophistication to this functional kitchenware. Grossen's skillful use of watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard brings out every nuance in his pencil drawing, creating a visual masterpiece that reflects both heritage and contemporary design sensibilities. The lid features beautifully crafted letters 'D' and 'P, ' perhaps representing initials or serving as part of an alphabet-themed collection. This artwork not only represents an object from everyday life but also evokes nostalgia for bygone times when such old-fashioned yet aesthetically pleasing items were commonplace in American homes. As we gaze upon this Butter Box, we are transported back to the 1950s – a decade characterized by innovation, creativity, and cultural transformation. Preserved within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece stands as a testament to Grossen's artistic prowess while offering us glimpses into America's rich history through its decorative arts tradition. With its timeless appeal and enduring beauty, "Butter Box" continues
