EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a side chair designed by American artist Herbert S. Frere, created around 1941. The chair, a stunning example of mid-20th century decorative arts, is a testament to Frere's mastery of woodcarving and his keen sense of design. The side chair, upholstered in a rich, green cloth, is adorned with intricate hand-carved details, including geometric patterns and organic motifs, executed in brown wood. Frere's use of color and texture adds depth and visual interest to the piece, which is further accentuated by the contrasting hues. The side chair, now a cherished period item, is a reflection of the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a prime example of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts, which was initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. This side chair, with its handcrafted beauty and timeless appeal, is a must-see addition to any art center or gallery, adding a touch of history and artistic flair to any space. The chair's intricate carving and upholstery, executed in watercolor colored pencil, gouache, and graphite on paper, showcases Frere's versatility as an artist. This side chair, a true masterpiece, is a reminder of the rich artistic legacy of the United States and the importance of preserving and celebrating our heritage.
